Hello Phoenixseij,

Welcome to Vista forums!

Did you get the CORRECT driver from here?

NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search

Keep us informed.

Hi Phoenixseij,

Try rolling back the graphics card driver to that which came with Vista (see the following tutorial). You will need to restart with each roll back. When you have done this, restart your PC and log into an account with administrative credentials. You should then be able to download and install the driver (link given below).
