Had a (Nvidia) driver update screw up so badly that I was unable to figure out a sane solution. Spent 8 hours trying to clean up the mess it made, was unable to install any video drivers (not even Windows compatibility drivers). Not going to be using Nvidia's automatic update again.

In the end I had to reinstall Windows, which means I get the joy of reconfiguring everything how I like it. I used a Windows disc with most of my software, but that disc is two years old, and a lot has changed in my workflow since then.

Probably be a couple days before I get everything set up well enough that I feel comfortable coding again.
