Default pink areas of display with nvidia geforce fx 5900 after latest windows update

I've got an nVidia GeForce FX 5900, and it has been fine for many
months.

This morning I have noticed pink dots / pink areas in many places on
the screen, usually in places where there is a specific shade of blue,
but not always.

These pink areas are not fixed on the screen, but rather to whatever
image they are appearing on. Like in my blue-shaded title bar, near the
end towards the minimize/maximize/close buttons, is a small area that
is pink which should be blue. If I move the window around, the pink
stays on that part of the window. (Just to illustrate it is not affixed
to a certain part of the screen.)

I have the latest nvidia geforce drivers from November 2004 (66.93).
This only happens when I have it in true color (32-bit mode). If I
change to 16-bit mode, it goes away. If I switch it back to 32-bit, it
comes back.

The only recent change made to my system was the installation of the 11
security updates released by Microsoft on February 9, 2005 (yesterday).
I will try uninstalling these later to find if that is the problem, but
I wanted to give everyone a heads up, and see if anyone else is having
an issue like this.
