nvd3dum.dll - Can't play any Games! All games stop working on launch
APPCRASH: nvd3dum.dll is the file causing all my games to crash completely
I've tried the following:
Re-isntall Nvidia Drivers
Re-install the games
Re-install C++ & Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0
Re-install Steam files (via Deleting every folder other than 'steamapps' and the Steam exe itself and then launching Steam)
All have not worked. The games launch and then freeze with "X Game has Stopped Working"
Games Tried:
Terraria
Torchlight 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Borderlands 2
Super Meat Boy
Counter Strike: Global Offensive
& More
Example (tends to be the exact same message on each game)

All spit out the same message (Stopped Working) and all point to the nvd3dum.dll module as the one's causing the crashes. Also, all games seem to launch in Windowed mode too
It all seems to have started a few days back, maybe through something in Windows Update. One update did fail when I tried to installing it along with Service Pack 1 (as I re-call something to do with C++ and .dll files). It's also not any hardware causing the problems as I haven't had any BSoD or error messages regarding hardware. All readings for Temps & Voltage are fine, the problem seems to stem from that .dll file mentioned. Also I'm not experiencing any graphical or hardware/software errors outside of gaming
Maybe I should re-install Win7 and do a clean install, what do you guys think?
