Brandon,
    Before you updating the driver, try one more thing here:

go to the folder where the IDV is installed, such as: C:/program files/IDV_3.0, 
using a editor to open the runIDV window batch file, and find the line starting 
with: "jre\bin\java -Xmx%idv_memory%m ...", and add "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" 
right after the memory, "jre\bin\java -Xmx%idv_memory%m 
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m....", 

if this can help, you don't need to update the driver.
