I've noticed since installing them, that even though Aero is working
overall, the task bar is no longer transparent. The window headers are as
well as the start menu however.

Wierd....any one else notice this?

100.65 vista drivers on the nvidia site.

big advance, you no longer get the this driver is not certified install
anyway? popup.

other than that same old same old. Dreamscene still drives 50% cpu at idle.
No noticable framerate improvement in games. Still can't overclock the gpu.

I was always an nvidia guy. Never considered ati but that has changed.
Nvidia drivers sucked throughout vista beta and a month after retail release
they still suck.

I have bought my last $400 nvidia card.

If you choose Geforce and TNT2 and choose Vista32, you're not going to be
offered the new drivers. You need to choose 8800 series and vista 32. Which
tells me, the drivers aren't for everyone.
