Nvidia driver question

I'm having an issue loading the 32 beta driver. Two times the screen went
black at the end and nothing happened. I had to manually reset; and one time
the system was unusable after that. One other time on a re-install I got
prompted at the end to reboot (what i would normally expect.)

So, is it better to use the Nvidia driver that comes with the install. It's
dated April of this year, so it's not toooo old per say.

Just wondering what people thoughts and experience has been on this issue.

Just use the drivers that came with Vista unless you can find a
specific Windows Vista Beta driver from the Manufactorer. Vista is 7
months away from release at least, it is not supported yet.

Nvidia have not done a working Vista Beta driver yet AFAIK, the
existing XP drivers will not work properly.

My cheapo 128MB 5500 Nvidia card is fine on the included MS drivers.

Depends on what you call "working" or not, but Nvidia does have drivers on
their site specifically for Vista B2.
