computer question

O.k. ....... Nothing to do with bikes! I'm a computer numbskull so perhaps one of you computer gurus can answer a question

Tried to use google earth this morning. Never had any problems before, but today it was so slow loading, then stopped, & a box came up, saying that the program had stopped responding. Went online & found a problems page that said the graphics driver might need updating. Found that there was an update for my nvidia graphics card, so updated, & hey presto, it's working again.

Now......... question is, why should it suddenly stop working with the old driver, when it's been working fine on that driver for the past two years? :??:

All answers appreciated, to help me understand my computer better. :2tup:
