These drivers are based on the old Forceware drivers. You should use the newer officialy release drivers from nVidia, or some of the beta drivers. Omega does great stuff, but the nVidia ones are pretty old. I would expect the problem you are having is because of the older driver version. Do some looking around in this nVidia section of the forums, you will see that this has been asked, and answered a couple of times....

I would start with the 66.93s and go from there.
