Question / Help [Win7] MAME Window Capture suddenly messed up

Hi, I've streamed MAME without issue until last night, when suddenly the window capture would only show part of the MAME window. The rest of the screen would be either my desktop or a still shot of the emulator - almost like there's 2 sources.

Yes, that screenshot shows 2 active MAME sources, but removing the game capture one didn't fix the problem. Window capture is far more convenient for me than any other method, so this is a big problem. The only issue I can think of is that I recently updated video drivers as part of an effort to fix a crashing problem OBS previously had for me. That part worked, but I wonder if that broke something with this.

I've also noticed that the display will suddenly correct itself for a brief period once in a while, then get screwed up again before long. Removing sources and creating new ones for this window capture didn't help, either. Window capture with other programs still works fine for me, or anything else in OBS for that matter - it's just window capture of MAME that's a problem, and that's the vast majority of what I stream.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I figured I should reply to this in case others have similar issues:

Seems like it's a matter of recent Nvidia drivers breaking lots of things. I see they just released another update last night but I haven't installed it yet. So, keep tabs on that and keep updating until they fix it I guess.
