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.
My patch will fix 295.33 WITHOUT kernel sources. All that is needed are the kernel headers. I'm fixing the include directories in the compilation, not blindly copying the generated headers.

Thanks Larry, I just grabbed the two patches and they are now safely backed-up for safe keeping :-) . BC -- Wife sent me to the doctor to get the pills for me to have an erection.
