nVidia 97.46 driver and Vista Business Edition

[Guest]

I've been using Vista Business Edition, provided through my MSDN
subscription, for the past month.

The new nVidia 97.46 drivers will not install, and Vista has reverted back
to Microsoft driver 9.8.6.5, dated 10/9/2006. Installation attempts, using
the downloaded executable, report that Windows Vista has not been detected as
my OS. Attempts made using the unpacked files within the C:\NVIDIA directory
fail due to an Age of Empires compatibility problem. I don't own Age of
Empires, so something is really whacky here.

Anyone else havinge trouble with Business Edition? I'm not even sure that
Business Edition supports game play. If not, then I'll have to install a
different version of Vista.

Thanks for your time,

C. P. Durkin

Thanks Carey! The international driver installation failed with the error
that it could not detect Windows Vista as my OS. BUT, allowing Vista to
search "C:\NVidia\WinVista\97.46\" for an updated driver, through the Device
Manager, was successful.

Thanks again,
