Fixed an NWN crashing on Vista issue

I wasn't sure where to place this post but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone searches the forum for NWN issues on Vista.

I am running Vista Home Premium with a GeForce 7300 512 meg video card. When I first installed Vista it asked me if I wanted to have it install the nVidia drivers for me... I chose to allow it to and it was fine for most activities. NWN however was crashing from time to time, actually did a bluescreen and a full system memory dump. I realized that windows installs an older version of the drivers, I believe 1.48 or something. I updated the drivers manually to 1.69, which is the current nVidia driver version and I now have no more issues at all, I've run for many hours in a row without issue.

Just wanted to put this out there.

Thanks.
