Do I have the official 175.16?

I recently completed my new build and installed the 175.16 driver from NVIDIA's web site, but looking in Device Manager gives some concern.

This is what it shows in Device Manager (Vista Ultimate x64):

Driver Date: 5/2/2008

Driver Version: 7.15.11.7516

Digital Signer: microsoft windows hardware compatibility publisher

What confuses me are three things:

1. The driver date on NVIDIA's site is 5/16 and I downloaded it on 5/17, so why 5/2?

2. The driver version does not say 175.16

3. The digital signer is not NVIDIA

You're fine.

1) Driver dates and release dates don't coinicide.
2) 7.15.11.7516
3) Microsoft digitally signs things to work for Windows, not nvidia.

That sure puts my mind at ease. Thanks!
