Hi Rick,
Thanks for the response
unfortunately the drivers that come with vista only allow me to run my
widescreen (with a native res of 1280x800) at a skewed 800x600 max!
At least the Nvidia drivers allow me to run @ native res.
It's unfortunate really that I cannot use much of the simple functionality
(such as the media center or even media player) without a crash
. If it
really is due to the video drivers then Nvida really do have a long way to go
IMO...
How is it that a company like that can't release working drivers by the time
an OS goes to market? Seems rather strange to me considering how long the
vista betas have been available!
Beck,
I have tried around 6 differant versions for the forceware drivers from
nvidia (certified and not). All have yeilded the same result
No joy.
I guess I'll just have to wait for a working version of these drivers to be
released (and I'm not holding my breath if after more than 10 major versions
they are still have problems)...
