Microsoft will not give out this hotfix. I quote from them.

"I understand that you would like to obtain hotfix mentioned in KB 932539.

Hotfix for x86 is not available. For assistance you may contact a Microsoft
Support Professional. You have several options for contacting technical
support, which include Self-Help Resources and Assisted Support. You may try
to resolve the problem on your own using the no-charge self-help resources
listed below. However, if you prefer assistance from a Microsoft Support
Professional, please choose the Assisted Support option mentioned below.

Assisted Support:

You may work with a Microsoft Support Professional via e-mail, telephone,
and for some products, chat to resolve your issue. Depending on how you
obtained your software, there may be fees to use the Assisted Support option.
Please visit the following link to contact Technical Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=11732"

They have the hotfix, but only want to give it out through tech support. I
tried requesting the free hotfix and got the above response.

Did you try and get the hot-fix with this article? Everytime I try they tell
me it is unavailable, been going round and round with Microsoft support since
march Nvidia points you to this article which is still posted, you do
everything the article tells you to and support promptly emails you back
saying the hot fix is no longet available!! I believe that this is a gray
area problem which Microsoft and Nvidia could fix, but who the heck wants to
be responsible these days??? this sort of problem is part of a launch of new
operating systems/ the bleeding edge hardware buyer always iron out the
problems for the rest of Humanity. just be patient!!

Have you tried a Google search for the KB932539? It seems to be available
out there, along with a lot of discussion.

Just the answer I got from Microsoft. I have an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS card
and have just started getting the BSOD yesterday. I have now gone back to
just using the Microsoft Driver which won't allow my monitor use it's optimal
resolution. If I try a Nvidia driver I either don't get into windows or get
the BSOD a short while after booting into windows. As I have an OEM version
of Windows Vista Home Premium , Microsoft won't even allow me to send an
e-mail to support.
All my problem history recently points to the Video Hardware and I am
beginning to think it may be the display card. All forums suggest it is a
known software problem but I have been operating with this setup trouble free
until yesterday. A search of my Windows Update shows nothing has been updated
recently. I also hadn't added, upgraded, etc anything. My system is barely 8
months old.
Why won't Microsoft at least let me have the hotfix? (KB932539). It probably
won't work but I am willing to try anything. I purposely bought this machine
with an Nvidia card due to all the problems I had on my last machine with an
ATI card.
I am not willing to pay for support they may/may not work. When is Vista SP1
coming out to the public?.

What worked in the interim was to disable the UAC in Vista.

Scratch that one. It is all back again.
I really need the hotfix in question which should be provided for free from
Microsoft.
