Thank you, Chris, for posting the above URL. After DAYS of trying to apply the nVidia driver to my MS #2 installation I finally succeeded. But, I had to re-install the BASIC - without ANY updates - Milestone #2 (32-bit) before I could do it and I had to do it with the executable script file given in that URL. The latest nVidia driver - 295.33 - does NOT install as it did in the past even though it contains the patch for the 3.3 kernel. One first needs to download the kernel-source and install 'make' and 'gcc' before running that script. BC -- Wife sent me to the doctor to get the pills for me to have an erection.
