From what I've been reading wait, keep on looking for new drivers or buy a
Vista compatible card. I have a GeForce FX 5500 OC - same predicament. MS
Vista HCL is a chore to go through and there are a lot of x's instead of
check marks.

its strange thow as i had the card working before it started to make the
computer crash for some reason and now i cant find the WDDM drivers for it
