I've recently installed windows vista and nvidia driver 101.4, i have 2
nvidia 7300 gs graphics cards. I can open the nvidia control panel and select
enable sli, the gagdet bar then closes and i'm prompted to restart my
machine. Once it has i'm back to an 800x600 resolution the nvidia driver has
dissapperaed and i have no sli.
What is wrong?



ASUS P5N-SLI (Motherboard)
2x nVidia 7300 gs
Intel Core 2 Duo (2.13)
2Gb ddr2 533

There is a new driver on the nVidia website.. try it out..

Did SLI work prior to installing Vista? Do both cards appear in device
manager?

In XP MCE yes SLI worked perfectly and both card sdo indeed appear in device
manager. Is it worth me updating my bios to it's most recent

Have you updated the Nforce 4 chipset drivers?

Jim

i will try updating the nforce 4 driver, also if you follow this link
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...tart_Guide.pdf
and go to page 43 table 4.1, it says sli is not availible in vista could
this be the simple solution to my proble nvidia simply haven't bothered to
release and sli driver yet?
