FWIW, the rig in question has Win2K Pro for an OS and I thought I had read where 257.21 was going to be one of the last to have support for that OS.?.
The underlying thing here is that it’s a case of ‘if it isn’t broken, fix it until it is’. :)
The rig had an ample quantity of ghosts, but no actual work during one of the early server outages. A quick detach/reattach seemed like a great time to also update the client and the opti app. It is looking like it might become just another reason to simply replace the rig… :/

Possible that NV are no longer supporting Win2k Pro - they've only got Win2k3 x64 on their site now so a rollback to one of the earlier drivers would probably be the best bet.
Although if it means that you can get a new rig out of this then it's not all bad ;D

260.99 drivers now available!?!?! Only a week after the 260.89 drivers???
Richard Haselgrove:
There's a discussion at GPUGrid (http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2318) suggesting, at least anecdotally, that some GPUs have been observed to clock-down to a power-saving mode with the 260.89 drivers. The 260.99 release may be a bug-fix for that issue - or it may just have been a mistake (it was unusual that the WHQL release had the same version number as the preceding Beta version).

Haven't been able to invest much time here lately while growing stuff. Now winter's approaching.............
I got latest Nvidia driver 260.99.
See there is a new CUDA toolkit 3.2 RC. Notes here say still RC while NV ensures there's no problems.
I need to install both then use latest version unified installer 0.37 -- correct?
I use GTX275 and GT8500 in one PC, 9800GTX in another.
Jason G:
Any 256+ series driver installed ( 260.99 seems good ) will be enough for 0.37 . Cuda 3.2 builds won't be released until sometime after nVidia relase one witnout the RC tag, and some worthwhile imrovements can be added.
