Fixed: NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti crash randomly frozen screen (Free commander XE, nvinit.dll_unloaded closing crash)

I use ZOTAC's nvidia gtx 560 ti on Windows 7 x64 at work and it worked fine. After the graphics card driver update (to 314.22), 32-bit based apps like Free Commander XE have been crashed when closing with the dialog saying that nvinit.dll_unloaded and also my monitor screen has been frozen randomly for a few seconds.

The new official vga driver (320.18) was released a few month later and I updated but the problem was not fixed. I found the newest driver doesn't have any change for gtx 560 but only for 600 or 700 series, and also found this solution by googling later, 'downgrading' the driver to 296.10, as I remind myself "Upgrading is not always good."

Problem: nvinit.dll_unloaded error and screen freezing since upgrading gtx 560 ti driver to 3xx.xx version
Solution: downgrading the driver to 296.10

조탁의 gtx 560 그래픽카드를 잘 쓰다가 드라이버 업데이트 이후 32비트 기반 앱 종료할 때 에러 + 간헐적 화면 멈춤 현상 발생

구글링 하여 296.10으로 다운그레이드 하니까 해결

소프트웨어에 있어서 업그레이드가 늘 좋은 것은 아니라는 사실을 상기함
