I have a problem with the nVidia 260.XX drivers series, both 260.63 and 260.89 releases.
After installation a program call “NvXDSync” is more or least taking 100% of one CPU core and completely smalling down the entire system so badly that I have to go back to the old 259.31 drivers.
Anyone else has experienced the same problem? Any work around?
I tried to only copy the DLLs in the system directory but I have an error message with the last 260.89
You should post the question on the mailing group.
I’ve been using 260.63 on my laptop (Windows Vista 32-bit SP2) since their release without any problems.
You’ve said that you had installed NvXDSync separately. I’ve probably misunderstood something, because it is a part of drivers bundle. Check your version on the following site: http://www.systemexplorer.net/filedetails/nvxdsync.exe.html
I just found a fix: The issue is a service called “NVSvc” / “nVidia Driver Helper Service”… It makes me this of the old Office Helper, more a pain that anything else.
I disable this service to start and everything is back to normal!
