Which drivers are loaded...?
Hello! I'm new to this forum and to Vista. I installed a fresh copy of Home Premium over the weekend. What a great Install! So much easier than XP! I didn't even have to search for drivers, Vista did everything! And everything works perfectly.

My question is, is there a way to see what version of a specific driver was loaded?

The reason I'm specifically asking is, I want to know if I have the latest driver loaded for my Nvidia G-force graphics card.

Thanks, and thanks for this informative site!

I'm glad you are satisfied with your Windows install, and yes there definitely is a way.

You can use this guide for other drivers: How to identify a buggy device driver on Windows Vista | Vista Rewired

In your case however, I think there is a quicker way. go to your desktop, right click an empty area, choose personalize, then display settings, then advanced. You should see the driver version there.

By the way, if you're using an eVGA card, I notice their site releases the beta drivers earlier than Nvidia. If you don't mind beta, you can check their site out to see if they have a newer driver.
