Vista Tutorial - nVidia 158.24 (01 Jun) drivers

Any idea why, when I try to install the above drivers, it says "Driver
Installation complete", but then a "Problems & Solution" dialog pops up
saying "Windows Vista does not support Age of Empires II 2.0a update", then
when I restart and check Device Manager, I'm still using the old Aug 06
Microsoft drivers for my gfx card?

I don't even have Age of Empires, indeed I've never, ever had it.

I managed to install the last stable set of nVidia Vista drivers ok
(although i removed them and rolled back to the MS ones due to them causing
stutter in my live TV picture in Media Center). I thought this new release
might solve that issue, but I can't even get them installed due to an error
in an update that I didn't download for a game I don't have!!!!

Perhaps you can find help on the nVidia forums.

I had this problem with the International driver set but the US ones
installed OK.
