Nvidia drivers 88-61

When I first installed Vista Beta 2 I also installed Nvidia driver 88-61. I
had no end of problems with blue screen frequently appearing and the driver
ceasing to function.
Whilst i did a full install in lieu of upgrade did not format and as such
my old files were retained.
Any the system went into a blue screen loop where i could not boot up.
Subsequently, i did a format of the relevant hard drive and a full clean
install.the system appear to be quite stable now(as much as a beta version
can be)

my question is"should i now re-install the 88-61 Nvidia beta drivers or wait
until the next lot of Nvidia drivers appear". i am running a Acer SA10
system with a gigabyte GV-N66256DP graphics card. Whilst the motherboard
only runs AGP4, the card is AGP8 capable

I don't know if your card is capable of Aero Glass or if you want to try any
gaming, however if you don't care about that just stay with the default
drivers.

I use 88.61, and I have a severely long boot. I have had to already go into
safe mode, uninstall the drivers, then reinstall them due to this problem.
I don't do any gaming in Vista , but since I'm using the drivers Aero Glass
is nice. I don't feel like reverting to a previous image with the default
drivers at this time either since driver roll back does not work after these
drivers are installed.

Your choice, but they might not update them until much later, along with
they might be designed for a later version of Vista so it might be best to
wait for the next public release which should be RC1 unless your an official
beta tester so you can run the updated drivers on the latest Vista release,
however that is going to be a while either way.

The card is definitely capable of Aero Glass ans
really should have it with the default drivers
in Vista. I have a FX 5500 and have the same
problems trying to get the 66.61 drivers to
install, but I have Aero Glass with the default
drivers.

Well at least my install still boots, almost every time that is, even though
it takes forever after those drivers were installed. I have a FX 5500 256
agp, but I think its the beta GeForce/Quattro drivers in general, not really
which cards.

Thanks guys, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion it is best to wait for
the next lot of beta Nvidia drivers and at the moment just stick to the WDDM
drivers that came with Vista. It means that i cannot play any of my games
like quake 4 etc but I do have Aero glass. Should not be too long before
some better drivers are produced by Nvidia (I hope)

Hello! Using Beta 2 shipped DVD.

My card is a geoforce 6200 Turbo cache with 128mb.

The vista driver does not allow aero. I installed the 88-66 Nvidia driver,
but that didn't help. Only setting the resolution at 800 x 600 I can see the
aero effects. I use a Hewlett Packard monitor, M700 and it is not being
recognized as well.

How can I get this video card to work with vista?

Willy.

I don't think you can.

Your "turbo cache" means that the card uses SYSTEM memory to hit that
number, not real on-board memory. Therefore you can only see glass at lower
resolutions(which can be handled by your onboard memory)

I have a MOBO with onboard Intel graphics and all 128MB available to it
comes from System Memory. After I installed Intel Vista drivers and once I
updated main memory to the required 1MB Glass started working fine.

Good to know.

I managed to make glass to work (resolution: 1152 x 864), using the vista
native driver. I can see all the effects now, but the system still gives bad
performance ratings because it only finds 16Mb of graphic memory. There's got
to be something to do with drivers. I'm sure Nvidia drivers might do the job,
but so far I've been unable to install them, it simply doesn't work, Nvidia
can't find it's card :-).

Is there a way to make the nvidia driver to work?
