This is a desktop, right?
By using the driver that Vista chose, do you mean the drivers on the Vista
installation DVD? Vista has no way to know that newer drivers are available.
Unless you mean via Windows Update, and that would include only drivers that
nVidia has released to Microsoft for distribution that way.
nVidia's drivers have gone through many, many updates since the drivers that
were included on the DVD. Download and install the latest nVidia drivers --
read and follow the installation directions carefully.
