Win Vista Beta 2 (x64) and nVidia 7800GT Vid Card

I have been trying very unsuccessfully to load good drivers that will allow
my video card to utilize 3D mode w/out my computer showing the Blue Screen of
Death... Any Suggestions??
I am running a ASUS AN832-SLI (Gamers Edition) Motherboard
2 Gig of Memory
EVGA nVidia 7800 GT Video Card
AMD Athalon 4400 64x2 Processor
I can use my desktop, but if I try to even use a 3D Screen Saver - It pukes.

Sounds like you don't have the 64-bit drivers for the card.

for vista 64-bit.

I actually tried that and the others on the pagem every time that I come back
for a re-boot it tells me that the drivers installed were written for a
previous edition or something then reverts to VGA graphic drivers.
