What a hassle! It's pretty annoying that we have to keep our laptops at a downgraded state because the newer drivers cause instability! I didn't mention this in the post,but the overlay options would get set to zero when I used the shortcut to change the output (rather than the built-in control panel option for Windows display settings). I see your issue was worse (causing a crash!) when doing something very similar. Yikes! What a hassle!

Here it was even worse - the new version of the driver, which I had installed on my laptop caused the laptop to crash when changing to the "DVI output scheme" - I even reinstalled WinXP to solve that issue, no success. Now when trying to troubleshoot the overlay problems, I stumbled upon your hint and downgraded the driver - and it fixed the crashing as well! Nice! Cheers, Sascha Hi,
