Ive just returned to CoX and im experiencing this problem.
Getting the error 'Driver has stopped working and recovered sucessfully' and then my pc goes insane xD
Im currently backing up my file and creating a restore point before installing this hotfix im hoping it works ^^
EDIT: Mkay when installing it, it says that it doesn't apply to my system :S

I had this bug a looong time ago, and I installed this hotfix a looong time ago, but yesterday, the bug re-appeared.

Exactly the same here - it's only happened once since (on Friday night) but nothing since then and I was playing a lot yesterday.
Had the grey screen of death reappear the last 3 days, not quite as often as before but on ITFs any time is once too many. 
The bug has started to reappear for me. Has been fine for ages, but when I logged in yesterday, it showed up again. Same again today.
No update to the server and no changes to my machine.... mmmh, what gives?

No update or info on a solution or anything x(?
its annoying having a good team and enjoying your character then all of a sudden its freezes and you just instantly know whats happened x( very irritating!
I'm experiencing a similar problem, I can play for a few minutes and the the screen goes black and the message 'display driver has stopped responding' pops up and the game crashes.
I'm on Vista and I have an Nvidia 8800 graphics card.
I have tried updating drivers, reinstalling windows and vacuming the PC. No luck fixing it yet.
Starting to get desparate...

Just thought I would let people know, I have been looking through the information on Vista SP2 and can see from the RC notes that this fix will be included in Vista SP2. Come April the problem should no longer affect people (unless SP2 brings new errors of course...)

Any news when SP2 will be released? I think getting these hotfixes (there's two of them now, you know) are a bit "too complicated" for most people to bother, while SP2 will be applied by most of us without hesitation.
...also these 2 hotfixes didn't fix my problems with my Nvidia 8800 card. Still get grey screen of death, and a lot more with I14. (drivers way up to date as well of course)
You know, I just remember I never got around to installing 362706 because the self extracting zip file was corrupt, no matter how I downloaded it, on whatever machine I did it on, and trying again today, it's still corrupt after download.
...weird! And as usual there's no email adress or anything else to report the problem to.
I had this bug a looong time ago, and I installed this hotfix a looong time ago, but yesterday, the bug re-appeared.
I tried to re-install the hotfix, but it just said "You can't install this hotfix on this computer", which is quite understable, since it is already installed.
As of now, I just had the bug once, but it was the exact same bug as before I installed the hotfix.
I don't know if it's important, but I installed the 182.06 nVidia driver's last week, and my dxdiag tells me that everything's right. If the bug appears again, I'll make an assistance request, but if anyone is in the same case as me, I would feel better
