I have a GeForce GTX 260.  Vue 10 Infinite installed and seemed happy enough with it.  Then I updated the video drivers (prompted by Nvidia), and Vue didn't like it.  Said some features weren't supported (looks like the shader engine?)

Why would newer drivers be a problem?  And is there any way to tell whether an "improved" driver is acceptable to Vue before installing it?

New drivers for any graphic cards can be a problem especially on older machines. If your problem is terminal for Vue I'd be tempted to do a roll back.

I never use the lastest driver when playing Fallout 3 or playing with Vue.  Both programs are mission-critical and thus video drivers are never messed with.

It wasn't terminal.  Vue re-started with different display options.  I rolled it back, anyway. 

I've had occasional crashes with Vue 10 (Vue 9.5 has been more stable).  When I restart Vue 10 after a crash, it suggests I update my video drivers.  So when there finally were new video drivers to install, I thought it would help.  Guess not.
