The bro's over at the French Station Drivers stumbled into new ForceWare drivers dated at the 30th or March. The download is a 15 meg sized file and does include an easy to install setup.exe in the extracted folder.
The good news is that it is a WHQL approved driver (Microsoft tested and verified). The bad news is that it's only for GeForce series 6. This driver has an included modified.inf file (courtesy of laptopvideo2go) for non-GeForce series 6 users.
