steam update breaks steam, new drivers messed up MCE

the new update steam pushed out worked ok on xp, but only gets to 26 percent
on my rtm vista and dies.
any body else seen this?
i also tried the full download and install, but still gets to 26% and dies.
next i'm going to uninstall,reboot,reinstall to see if that is anybetter.

my MCE was also broke
running new rtm nvidia drivers, and new 2_12 audigy 4 drivers.
followed somebodies advice and uninstalled older drivers before
re-installing.
had to go to ATI/AMD (when did that happen?) and get test vista drivers to
put it back together

Mike, nVidia posted on their site that these are still beta drivers, and
have limited functionality. Just thought you'd like to know. ;0)

have uninstalled and rebooted, still unable to get steam to work
think i will move this to the steam forums.
don't think they officially support vista yet though.
