There are issues with NVIDIA drivers and Microsoft. I have been fighting known issues between Windows 2000 and Windows XP boxes for about 3 months. Microsoft acknowledges that there are problems with certain software that they sell. That is MS Flight simulator and some of their other titles. However I have experienced problems with other software from Adobe, 3d games like Unreal, Video Editing software and others. Even the Windows explorer crashes when browsing subdirectories. Windows crashes often and when it reboots I have messages stating that the NVIDIA GeForce driver took a dump.

Microsoft suggested rolling back and then re-installing the driver. After almost three months of fighting these problems I installed the latest beta driver from NVIDIA 40.72 which is awaiting WHQL certification. So far (fingers cross, knock on wood) everyting seems to be working on our test box.

Bottom line...I don't feel that NVIDIA and Microsoft are on the same page. The GeForce drivers are are problem with later operating systems and NVIDIA is trying to catchup.
