Aero wont work with SLI enabled

Hi I have recently got a new PC and Vista 64 bit home premium edition. When I
enable SLI mode and run aero the screen goes blank. Also when I run windows
perfomance test it gets to the end looks like its trying to enable aero and
the screen goes blank. When I disable SLI mode and run windows perfomance
test it auto enables aero. I've tried hotfix KB936710 and it doesnt help and
forceware 162.22 Will this affect my gaming. Can any one help.

I have 2 8500GT 512MB on a ASUS P5N-E SLI with 4GB RAM with Q6600

Any help or advice would be realy appreciated

Thanks

I have SLI enabled with 2 GeForce 6800's with out any problem. If you mean
when you turn on SLI , the screen goes blank...it should do that then
restart the computer.
If you have other issues...make sure you uninstall the nvidia display driver
thru Programs and Features...restart...then install drivers again.
Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your MB. If you reinstall MB
drivers, do MB first, then graphics drivers.

Grab nhancer program. It is free and really enhances the Nview module and
is very good with SLI options

Free and works well with Vista.

Also make sure you have the NVIDIA issued latest driver (162.22) and not an
optional extra that MS may have offered and uploaded as a "Fix" for your
perceived video problems.

Good idea to totally uninstall the drivers from the Add/Remove and then
re-install from the NVIDIA Forceware folder

Note you CANNOT run two monitors and have SLi enabled (unless you use a
Dual-Head-to-go hardware piece
