So I guess if I have doubts about the validity in the first, I can check this one to verify...?

If you installed nTUNE to get temp monitoring and it killed your control panel, these drivers do not fix this issue.

I'm angry. I don't want to reformat.

Can't you uninstall ntune?
And then just use Rivatuner for all your overclocking and temp monitoring?

And then use nhancer for all your CP settings?
(although you don't get your monitor settings there)

OMFG! I think these drivers killed Steam! I can't get the app to start and I can't even get source games to run by clicking on their shortcuts. Just great!

Anybody else?

Steam did update their interface IIRC.
Maybe thats causing the problems.

Yep, that's it. Did a system restore and Steam started right up and began downloading an update. As soon as the update was completed, Steam shutdown and will not restart.

Obviously not the driver.

I think I read that Steam was working to release a patch for it. Not sure, though.
