Call me paranoid, but I've gotten to where I'm nervous about updating
anything... have you tried this new driver yet? any luck?
I tried the link, and it says I'm unauthorized to download it...

So far so good on the Vista 64 drivers. I'm getting better numbers of Doom3
(still about 15 shy of XP) The FEAR numbers are still neck and neck with XP
and the 3dMark06 numbers are still about 10 shy of XP.

I've done several reboots and no BSODs. Next stop Vista32 drivers

Let me know how that goes! I'm on Vista32, and everything's working at this
particular moment (glancing at the cpu to make sure it didn't hear me say
that, or it'll quit- don't want to jinx it!).

....except for the keyboard, of course... grumble... had to take that off and
put on a generic one. but that's a whole different issue.

What you got the G15 keyboard? I have that as well. makes it more exciting.

So far, the performance is a tad better under Vista32. about 5 fps faster
under Doom3, not much change under 3dmark06 , FEAR is giving me the best
numbers ever, only 2 behind XP's.

I've rebooted a few times and no crashes like I got under 7.3. So at this
moment, the 7.4 under Vista32 appear to be fine. Sure wish stalker had a
benchmark to run.

Installed those new drivers today, and Nexuiz stopped working. I don't recommend installing them, current drivers work fine.

Yep, the G15... sure makes a nice paperweight They told me they're
hoping to have drivers ready for it by the end of April...

Ok, guess it's time to update video drivers... again... eek....

G15 works fine if you turn off UAC. At least it has for me.

Are you not running them for a reason, like the performance problem in FEAR
?

I initially used the XP drivers and they worked fine, and used the XP64
drivers for Vista 64. It gives an error about the media center, but that's
it.

But they have Vista drivers out (though I think it's just the XP drivers
renamed).

Now if you play FEAR alot, then it might be a long wait
