If you built your own Windows Home Server and are using either integrated graphics or a video card that has Nvidia chips on it then you could run into problems if you upgrade the video driver.
A graphic driver update released in October is causing havoc on many Home Server installs by not allowing users to log in via the Console or Remote Desktop and even a driver roll back does not work forcing many to do a server reinstall.
The driver version at the cause of the problem is GeForce Release 178.24 which was released October 15, 2008 to add support for motherboards with integrated GeForce 9-series GPUs, mainly the GeForce 9400 and the GeForce 9300.
Version 178.24 has now been superseded by release 180.48 released November 19, 2008 which presently has NOT been tested alongside Windows Home Server, so use this updated version with caution!
Neither release has no mention of a compatibility issue in their release notes, although fellow enthusiast Christopher Price and myself have experienced this issue.
