I slipstreamed nVidia 162.18 drivers onto XP Pro x64 SP2, and then used the ISO to install Windows. However, I then tried to update the nVidia drivers to 163.75 from within Windows, by running the nVidia installer. It all seemed to go OK, but after the reboot I was informed the control panel applet version did not match (ie. the driver version).

I could carry on using Windows OK, but could not use the nVidia control panel applets due to version mis-match.

I've had a look at the nVidia site and it looks like the control panel was updated from 162.18 to 163.71, so this might be the problem.

before installing newer nVidia driver you MUST uninstall previous. Or try using right-click\update driver in device manager.
