If the procedure recommended by my colleague rockmilk does not provide a solution, then as you have an Acer Aspire, you should try the driver from Acer.

The Nvidia driver is a generic driver for a whole series of GPU`s and as noted on the Nvidia site
http://www.geforce.c...s/results/42588

As part of the NVIDIA Verde Notebook Driver Program, this is a reference driver that can be installed on supported NVIDIA notebook GPUs. However, please note that your notebook original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM about recommended software updates for your notebook. OEMs may not provide technical support for issues that arise from the use of this driver.

Go to the Acer site and replace the driver you HAVE with their offered driver.

Indeed the driver you have installed presently if it is from some sort of driver update program, or occasionally even if it has been offered by Windows, may be the cause of your problems.

Here is the link to Acer
