Geforce 6600 le and Games in Vista

Been looking around for a solution for this problem and am hoping someone
here can clarify for me.

I have Windows Vista 32 bit and have installed the beta drivers from nvidia
but when I play the built in games like mahjong titans etc.. there are
streaks all over the screen. I have also installed Everquest 2 to play but on
this alot of the textures seem to be missed leaving big holes in the game and
again the streaks are there too.

Is this to do with the drivers? If so am I going to have to wait until
Nvidia release new drivers to sort this out?

Yes and yes, or buy a card which has better drivers (almost any ATI card).

http://www.nvidiaclassaction.org/ A few people aren't too happy about the
situation, myself included as I've got a GeForce in my Tablet.

I have a Geforce 6600 128mb card and haven't had any problems at all. When I
installed Vista I did a CLEAN install and let Vista install the necessary
Nvidia drivers. ALL my games and graphics work perfectly with no corruption.

I've got the same card and same problem. The latest driver Version: 100.65
didn't do any good. Almost every game I've tried does the same thing. It's
called spiking isn't it?

I also have Nividia Geforce 6600 and Home Basic 32-bit Vista and i also see
those streak and huge black holes in it, this will happen to every game you
play exept for Warcraft III not sure why. I think you should contact
Microsoft or Nividia i think its Vista the problem or you need to change your
Video Card with a Vista Approval logo on it since 6600 dosent have it. I
think it wont work right.
