nvidia GeForce 6600

I have GeForce 6600 and installed Vista RC1. System have drivers for this
video card, and everythink is working. But when i start playing games(FIFA 07
demo) graphics is really slowly. I installed oryginal drivers, with Program
Compatibility Wizard, but then some functions aero, like switch between
windows and windows preview(on taskbar) wasn't working. Thisame with games
was when i installed nvidia forceware 96.33. What can I do???

Re: nvidia GeForce 6600


The answer is really simple. Never used the Microsoft Provided drivers for
anything, other than to get you up and running. This is espeically true for
3D video cards\gaming. Head on over to Nvidia and download the Beta RC1
drivers for Vista and you'll be jamming along.

Re: nvidia GeForce 6600

Updated Nvidia drivers for:

Vista RC1 x86: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_96.33.html

Vista RC1 x64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_96.33.html

While these drivers will get most games up and running (F.E.A.R. ran great
with these), some games like Anarchy Online you may notice minor DirectX
based distortions and graphics corruption (particularly with the text chat
window in Anarchy)...

Im hoping a fix is in the works for this soon myself
