Normally it would be better to start your own thread to avoid confusion between your issue and the original poster's issue. The other thing would be hijacking someone’s thread. Just something to think about

Now as to your problem - You need to find out what version of Vista you're running, in this case 32 or 64-bit. Once you know that, download the appropriate drivers for your card and go from there.

Hi, loneliness, and welcome to the forums.

FWIW - don't hijack other people's threads for your own problems. It makes conversations confusing. Unless you have the *exact* same problem occurring on the exact same machine (same hardware) you are better off making your own posts.

Secondly - in addition to knowing the version of Vista you have, be aware that some OEMs force you to use drivers from *their* websites only.
