Just a note to people running

WinXP
8800GTX
Driver 162.18

Upon upgrading from 158.22, I found that some video would now longer
work - eg some AVIs or WMV files.
Took me a little while to find the culprit, but going back to 158.22
fixed the problem.

NVidia's website only seem interested in Vista bugs, so I've no idea how
to report this.

The only slightly other hardware I've got that could make a difference
is my Shuttle SD37P2 and two monitors.

nil probs with my 8800gtx sli setup.

Infact it fixed my 'crackling' issues with my xfi card sharing IRQ's
with one of the videocards in TDU and GRAW

I have the same issue. I found on a forum that if you start the
Display Optimisation Wizard, then cancel out, it resolves the issue.
Until you reboot. Bit irritating...

I'll stay with 158.22 thank you. It's not like the 162.18 driver fixes
any of the bugs that actually effect me.
