Cal your local clergyman and file a complaint! Or, you could let nVidia
know about the discrepancy since they are the ones that wrote and
released the drivers! There is nothing I can do about it!

Do they work?

Actually you need to either clean your glasses or take remedial classes
in reading comprehension!

I just loaded the driver in bot XP Pro and x64. The message is that the
driver "has not passed Windows Logo Testing..." That is a very distinct
difference than stating it is a "non WHQL Candidate."

Do you have any idea what you really mean??

This release didn't work for me. Windoze Media Player rendered a
washed out appearence until I rolled back to the previous release
drivers. AMD64 and GForce FX5200 here........

Here's the fix for the "washed out" appearance. I think it's a gamma
problem.

Open the nVidia control panel/color correction tab. Set color profile to
advanced mode. Set "apply color profile changes" to "ALL". Press "Apply" and
it's fixed.

Yeah, that overlay gamma default is crazy. The slider for it doesn't work
well either. They should fix that and bring back the refresh rate overrides.
I'd be a happy guy.

It does not tell you the driver is a "non WHQL Candidate." It tells you
the driver is not WHQL certified, and that's what nVidia means when it
says the driver is a "WHQL Candidate."

It means the driver has been submitted to Microsoft for WHQL
certification. The system has no idea whether the driver is a candidate
or not, all it determines is whether the driver is WHQL certified and
advises you the driver has not been certified if the appropriate file
and/or digital signature is not in the driver package certifying the driver.
