NVidia Beta RC1 driver fails

[dev]

This is an an FX5200 adapter card

Twice have attempted to install NVidia's GeForce & TNT Beta driver for
RC1, but it hung

Anyone had success?

Look on Microsoft Update. There is a new Nvidia driver ver. 9634. Uninstall
the driver from Nvidias website and go with this one. MU will install it for
you.

I have a dual head geforce 6600 and the nvidia beta driver worked fine.

Then I added a 5200 as that was on the supported list. I got all three
monitors but when I checked, it had reverted to using the MS WDDM driver.
Recall that this nvidia on is supposed be a LDDM.

Updating to the LDDM driver broke the 5200. I reverted to the MS one and all
is fine. I orinally read that Vista only supported multiple adapters if they
all used the LDDM drivers but apparantly that is not the case.

Anyway, I have three monitors and they seem to work fine. Doesn't Vista try
to use the MS driver? Are you committed to the NVidia one? Not sure if you
lose anything.
