Problem Detecting PCI E Video Card

I have an ASUS Motherboard w/64bit technology using an Intel 64 bit
processor, I have an NVidia 7600 GT PCI-E Video card installed and have the
motherboard using the PEG/IGD display order. Vista x64 installed in Standard
VGA mode but it will not see the NVidia video card and does not show any
display device in Device settings. When I run the Forceware driver setup for
Vista x64 it tells me it cannot detect any hardware that uses these drivers.
How do I get it to see my video card so I can use a better setting for
display.

Did you try extracting the contents of
the device driver file, and update using the .inf file? Open Control Panel >
(set to Classic View) > open Device Manager > expand display adapters >
select the currently installed driver > right click it > click "Update
Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > click "Browse"
> navigate to the location (folder) where you stored the extracted .inf
file
> click Next and it should detect it.

Report back.

my main problem is Vista is not seeing the Video card in Device Manager, I
think my MB may not be complient with Vista, It is showing 3 PCI Standard
PCI-toPCI bridges and 2 of them have the yellow exclamation mark, one of
these must be the PCI-E connection since no Display Card is showing in Device
Manager.

Have you checked the manufacturers website or contacted the manufacturer
directly about updates or patches to support your mother board? Also, I
think I read somewhere here in the ngs about limited support for PCIe based
video cards in Vista, I can't confirm since I am using AGP.
