The new 80 series forceware drivers do some things no series before have 
done.  There is now better support for dual core cpu's for instance.  BUT, 
my main graphics application won't run.  Not ANY version of it!  Paint Shop 
Pro 7, 8, 9 and X will not display on the screen nor come up on the task 
bar.  But task manager says the program is running.  PSP cannot create/draw 
the window with the 80 series drivers so far.  I may try that beta set you 
found, but sounds like it may have the same problem still.
The WHQL 77.77 drivers are on nVidias site in Drivers.  When you get to the 
current driver download page, look on the left for Driver Archive just above 
relevant links.
>>From what i can see there, for XP the available versions are:
77.72, 77.77. 78.01, 81.85 with set 81.05 (the one I have that was a problem 
with PSP) missing in the archives.  Hmm.
The 81.nn drivers are supposed to be noticeably faster and clear up some 
little problems with some games.  So I'd love for them to work with PSP 
also!

Glad your timedemo came up so well!   Running the entire demo in less than 2 
seconds!  LOL!
