The fix does not eliminate the problem ( a memory conflict ) - it only removes the error-message by disabling the check and thus does not reset the driver.
On the downside, your PC will not be able to take action when it should. e.g. in case over-overheating, over-voltage or something like that and you will not be able to recover the graphics-driver if it crashes as the system will no longer notice the crash.
I'd also like to note this problem is not limited to Vista. Due to 99% the same files Windows7 suffers from the same problem.
The problem seems to be originating from 2 different problems colliding:
1. Memory running at the edge of stability.
2. Incompatibility of hardware with Windows power-saving routines.
If you choose desktop-high performance option in energy-saving options and also disable voltage being dynamically decreased for PCI/PCIe-cards, you eliminate 90% of the problem.
