Constant Crashing

In the last few weeks, with the current and previous updates of AE, I've been experiencing regular crashes. I've become aware of a known bug with Nvidia drivers:

But this post is of little help. After Effects just can't seem to handle anything else running at the moment - even accessing an explorer window can cause AE to crash. I need a solution.

Thanks,

Isaac.
