Build 5308 and Geforce 7300GS?

Try as I might, I have been unable to get this card to work properly in the
latest CTP build. The only driver that works or loads properly is one I got
off of Windows Update, which is for device Nvidia G72. As this is a direct
X 8.1 driver, there is no Aero Glass support.

The latest beta forceware driver from Nvidia (87.45) enables Aero Glass, but
makes the system unstable- it will randomly go to a black screen that can
not be recovered from. There is a sign;la going to the monitor but the
screen is black. It appears the machine is running properly, but no image.
The previous driver from Nvidia did not work at all.

Has anyone had any luck with this? This it the eVGA version of the card,
BTW. Thanks!

I am not surprised since its a BETA driver. Have you reported this to
nVidia? Its possible that its fixed and MS is aware of it.
