Nvidia GO 7900 GS

[Guest]

I have a new Toshiba p100 laptop that came with windows media center, I just
upgraded to the MSDN Rel of WIndows Vista

Everything is good except the system BSOD on any media related activty
including remote desktop

The offending driver is nv4_mini.sys, I have made sure I have the lastest
NVidia drivers that are posted 8.4.0.0

Latest drivers are Beta

In your case there are no downloadable drivers that are for vista OS.

I have changed the NVidia drivers t the Microsoft WDM driver and the BSOD is
gone but no enhanced features

Is the MSDN release of Vista really still a beta, it doen't say beta
anywhere unless I missed something

Just becasue the OS RTM release is avaliable does not meant that all of the
hardware vendors have also released RTM versions of their Vista drivers.
AFAIK the current NVIDIA Vista Beta drivers also work with the RTM release
but if you read the release notes for them you will find that many
enhancements are coming before the NVIDIA Vista RTM drivers can be released
by NVIDIA. As long as MS has drivers that pass the Vista WHQL requirements
for a driver then it is available as far as they are concened. Since the
WHQL requirements do not include testing the vendor added functionalily of
the driver the hardware vendor is free to consider his WHQL qualified
drivers as Beta drivers as he continues to enhance their functionality.

There are no drivers for that one yet, only for the other cards.
Nvidia do not have beta drivers for it even.

Yep, there appear to be a number of problems in the GO series of laptop
cards and the most recently available drivers from nVidia. Best bet ...
wait a bit for more stable drivers from nVidia.
