We have identified two problems with Gridgen Version 15.07 and graphics
drivers for NVIDIA cards on Linux and Windows.

1. Gridgen is unstable on all NVIDIA cards using the latest drivers.  The
workaround is to use an older version of the drivers.
For Linux, we recommend 6111:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_archive.html
For Win32, we recommend 61.82:
    http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/61.82/61.82_winxp2k_english_whql.exe

2. Gridgen's menus don't function properly on NVIDIA Quadro and some
FX series cards. A fix has been implemented and is currently being tested.
There is no workaround so our recommendation is to not upgrade to V15.07 at
the present time if you have one of these graphics cards.

Permanent fixes to these two problems are in work and we expect to release
an updated Gridgen very soon.
