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?

That's why there's something wrong with the drivers. The driver is not activating the Turbo Cache to use memory from the system. In XP this works. And JW has an onboard card and it is using 128mb from the system, right? so there is something wrong with the drivers.
The question is: HOW DO I INSTALL THE NVIDIA DRIVERS? Everytime I do, it doesn't work.

The release notes for the 88.61 drivers state that the release supports the 6200 TC card. How much actual memory do you have on your 6200 TC card. I ask this since I beleive that MCE 2005 on XP required that a 6200 TC card actually have 32MB of onboard memory. What happens if you just ask Vista to search for drivers on your system drive? What error do you get when trying to install the 88.61 drivers? Is the BIOS for your MOBO uptodate?

That's why there's something wrong with the drivers. The driver is not activating the Turbo Cache to use memory from the system. In XP this works. And JW has an onboard card and it is using 128mb from the system, right? so there is something wrong with the drivers.
The question is: HOW DO I INSTALL THE NVIDIA DRIVERS? Everytime I do, it doesn't work.

I'm not sure what your question is. You DO have 16mb of memory on your card. "willy4360" wrote in message 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?

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)

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?

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)

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.

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 think my card has only 16MB of actual memory. But it works fine on XP using TC.
Actually I am using Vista drivers for the card and it enabled all the effects. The nvidia driver never gives me errors, it simply doesn't recognizes the card and it doesn't enable the Turbo Cache technology.
There's got to be a way to enable the Turbo Cache on the card. If this is not solved, I am thinking on buying a 6600 256mb Pci-e card, but I would love to find a fix for the problem first.

The release notes for the 88.61 drivers state that the release supports the 6200 TC card. How much actual memory do you have on your 6200 TC card. I ask this since I beleive that MCE 2005 on XP required that a 6200 TC card actually have 32MB of onboard memory. What happens if you just ask Vista to search for drivers on your system drive? What error do you get when trying to install the 88.61 drivers? Is the BIOS for your MOBO uptodate?
