System says Nvidia driver isn't compatible...

[Guest]

Hello there, I am currently running vista beta 2, and hoping to enable the
aero glass UI. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 (256mg) video card for one
display... so I go to install the Nvidia Vista Beta 2 Driver (version 88.61)
which SAYS is compatable with the GeForce 6600. It installs fine, but the
trouble is: when I restart the computer, a message appears telling me that
the display was disabled because the VGA driver wasn't compatable. (This is
shown to me via my secondary display, which I will eventually disable in
order to show the Aero UI because it doesn't have the memory capacity to
display it)

I have 1.5g memory, 2.4 pentium 4 processor, and a 250g hard drive.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I can install the nVidia Vista Driver.... reboot...then says Code 39 on the
driver. Then it forces me to standard SVGA. Can't use the nVidia Driver.

What card? What version of the OS?

I have a similar problem, however it is one step worse. I am using a Nvidia
Go 6600 on my Qosmio laptop and so far cannot get Windows Vista Beta 2 to
recognize the existence of the card at all. By default all I can access is
the default VGA graphics that come with the system and these are debilitating
to say the least.

So far, I have tried repeatedly to find make the system recognize the
existence of the card without success. I have tried installing the drives
that Nvidia has published with no success - I receive the message that
either, the drivers cannot install because it cannot detect the necessary
hardware or that I am not installing the new drivers on the required Windows
Vista (which I most certainly am). I don't know what else to do on this
matter. I have played in the device manager and tried every trick I know,
but I still can't get it work. Suggestions are most defenitely welcome.
