RE: Vista - bluescreen while booting system.

This is a long shot, and may be very bad advice, so try at your own risk, it
could make things even worse. I am not even sure you can do this due to the
security settings in Vista but it might be worth a try.

When nvidia pack their drivers, the files will be all with the same date,
and starting with the letters 'nv'. If you boot into XP, then use winrar to
look at the chipset driver files, you can see the date of the files. Then
search the Vista drive for those files and delete them. Hopefully when Vista
boots it will recognise the files are missing and try to boot from previous
files.

I must stress, this could be a bad idea. But if you are out of options it
might work. Pls don't blame me if this causes you to have to reinstall
windows completely.
