I saw "Removed Full-screen video mirror controls from NVIDIA Control
Panel" in release 178 on page 8 in
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window..._Release_Notes
.pdf ....

Currently, I am using 174.74_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_beta.exe which
works OK. I haven't upgraded my video card driver for a while. What was
the last driver release (beta or certified) before 178? No more NVIDIA
cards and driver after 178 for me.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure , but its a fact that Microsoft required Nvidia to do this.


Why?

I think because of DRM/copy protection.

I think most companies are going way too overboard with this DRM rubbish
really. Shame the public don't have what it takes to buycott products with
any sort of DRM built in. *shrugs*
