What's wrong with nvwgf2um.dll? Crashes on exit & etc. of applications
[b][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"][size="2"]I've updated to 270.61 drivers this morning & got the following issue bothering me.

For most of the time, I have Stereoscopic 3D Vision Enabled. I used it 90% of the time for games, movies & photos.

During the course of usage & closing application with IE9, I kept getting an error message (forgot to snapshot) prompting me to close. Same case goes with games like Dragon Age II.

This is very annoying!!! If anyone knows how to address this issue, please do reply!!!

Thanks!

And by the way, I saw that this new driver offers a new feature: 3D Vision Window Mode. How do I toogle it on?

Same thing happens to Windows Live Mail. Apparently, I have to disable 3D Vision before launching Windows Live Mail. Thanks for confirming the issue.

Well that's odd because my Windows Live Mail was frequenlty crashing on startup UNTIL I got the latest drivers. (When it finally would start correctly, there would be a big black box next to the search dropdown.)

Hi, everybody

Any advise how to avoid сontinuously appcrash of Dwm.exe?
Started since I updated to 270.61
GTX470 is installed about 6 month without any troubles except this one.
Report says that it's all about nvwgf2um.dll, but I do not use 3D Vision feature.
Crashe repeats even when I do not do anything. PC is on and there only Desktop (Windows7*32 + Aero)
Again, do not use 3D Vision. Why it crashes and what about date of new beta with fix for this?
Maybe, there is workaround for this issue?

Thanks a lot for your support.

DWM - Desktop Window Manager... that's not good. EVERYBODY is using that program so, if it were having troubles, these forums would be on fire.

Try re-downloading the drivers, uninstalling the old ones, and installing them again. If that doesn't work, you can try going back to older drivers and hope that this is just a problem with the Russian language version. If it isn't that, you'll have to re-install Windows.

P.S. The whole Internet Explorer & nvwgf2um.dll isn't a 3D Vision issue but the original poster didn't know that when he started the thread.

I'm running windows 7 Ultimate x64 and problem seems to be with the SP1 upgrade. Prior to adding SP1 I checked my event log and did not see an error but I'm now seeing an issue after upgrade. Just uninstalled 270.61 and tried to install 275.33 with errors during install so I went back to 266.58 which now fails. When I checked it seems that it fails when installing PhysX System Software on version 266.58.
