Thanks for the info Hazelnut. Luckily I keep the old installers for awhile, since their drivers always seem buggy!
There is no or little reason to install a new driver if your current video driver works fine. Installing new drivers consumes more disk space too.
We know that lshi, this is just a warning for users NOT to install THAT driver.
Just as well I don't have any fans on my nVidia card.
So what's the problem exactly, are they cooking the GPU making the fans work overtime??

Details of what the driver could do plus info of the affect it is also having on Linux machines
"WHQL-certified" = fail
I agree with Ishi, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it.
However, thanks Hazelnut for the heads-up.
Take this into consideration, just because a driver is newer than your current driver, that doesn't mean that the newer one is always better.
I have seen a more advanced video driver, with features that my video adapter doesn't even support and when I installed it, my game would have minor but noticeable lags that don't even happen to my old driver when I play the same game on the same computer.
"WHQL-certified" = fail
WHQL means "We guarantee it won't harm Windows". This driver doesn't harm Windows.
So I guess they don't make fan's hardware controlled anymore that kind of sucks??
I'm not sure if I like the sound of software controlled fans like what if my graphics card driver crashed overnight I could be waking up with a dead GPU the next day. :\
Anyway even if the software is buggy it always a good idea to constantly monitor the temperature of your hardware anyway so in the event of a heating problem you can shutdown and let it cool down.

Here is a post from Wilders forum from an experienced user who installed the nvidia update, he mentions in another post in that thread he may be considering using a lawyer.

Makes me wish I would've just bought another ATI card, even though I seem to burn them up every two years. The NVIDIA drivers have had some display corruption bug in them for a long time now.
Has anyone seen problems like this on non NVIDIA drivers???
New drivers out now from nvidia plus an apology
