I run an MSI card that utilizes NVidia FS5200. Driver 96.33 has been
best thusfar, as 96.85 does not offer the 1440X900 (widescreen)
resolution needed for this LCD monitor.

After downloading the driver, click on its SETUP.EXE file and follow
screen instructions. Do not attempt install via UPDATE DRIVER in Device
Manager. NVidia suggests that older drivers should be removed in
Control Panel|PROGRAMS AND FEATURES - if any is listed there - prior to
installing new.

Be aware that not all video adjust features will be available via the
NVidia Control Panel applet; these are Beta drivers.

The card should also do well with the WDM driver that is installed by
Vista when the card is detected. Or, perhaps, it can be loaded via
Device Manager|UPDATE|SEARCH THE NET.
