At this point in time most people are installing beta drivers on a beta
operating system. In many cases, no good can come of it.

Both companies are still developing the final code, and many interactions
are to be expected.

Are you certain you downloaded and installed the correct Nvidia drivers
(beta) for VISTA - version 88.61?
