Hi Abhishek,
As has been mentioned by several people on these newsgroups (myself
included), you should not install hardware drivers from Microsoft. These
should be obtained directly from the manufacturer, in your case Nvidia. The
current driver for your card is 96.85 -
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_96.85_2.html (32-bit) or
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_96.85_2.html (64-bit). If you have
a PCI -E slot, you might be better off upgrading your graphics card. My
current card is a 7600GT, driver version 163.69 and my monitor has a
resolution of 1440 * 900.
