Hello, my set up:
CPU: intel i5 4460 3.2Ghz
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX950
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST31000524AS
Motherboard: ASRock B85M PRO3
PSU: Corsair VS550
RAM: 2 x 4Gb Kingston
OS: Win7 64bit

Bought new GTX950 the other day. Installed the most recent driver (358.91). One startup I receive error message 'Desktop Window Manager Stopped working' with the fault module name 'nvwgf2umx.dll'. When I try to run fallout 4 I receive the same error message (obviously it says fallout.exe has stopped working instead) immediately after running the game.

I believe this is a driver problem so I clean installed the oldest driver available for the GTX950 and still receive the same error. People with similar problems have reported it works with drivers from around July however the gtx950 wasn't out then so there are no drivers from then for it.

Rolling back the drivers just cause the card to not work.

I've ran system checks, memory checks and all are good. And there are not errors running other older games (Fallout NV, GTA IV) however I have not tested it on other recent games (I don't have any others).

Is there a way can either get an old driver to work with the gtx950 or is there a way to make the recent drivers work.
