Following on from this, although it is true that it has totally fixed the
restart from Sleep when in a window, the Hibernate doesn't work. I didn't
notice this before as I never use Hibernate, only Sleep, so I don't know
what it did with the old driver.
If I use Hibernate now from full screen all is OK on restart. If used
when in a window, it comes back with a black rectangle where the screen
was. That is, there is not even the windows window border and icons like
when it used to fail from sleep in a window. At least in that case there
was a border.
Checking CPU usage after a window Hibernate restart shows zero use by
VRPC.
This is no great loss to me as I never use Hibernate. Repeated tests show
that the new Nvidea driver has totally fixed the sleep fault.
