Afraid divorce is in the air...

Teonanacatl · 02-21-2010, 10:58 AM

between Windows Vista and my Nvidia 9800GT. I just cannot get the two to get along since I updated from the disc drivers. Third party drivers have offered me limited usability, but I still crash on Very High graphics setting. I've searched the internet for hours about the Nvidia Vista 64bit conflict and no one seems to have a solution. It seems the problem has existed since Vista was released. Internet searches suggest that I should downgrade back to XP 32bit or change card manufacturers. I just bought this PC and card together at Best Buy in the last 14 months. I feel like I was sold a lemon. Can anybody help fix this conflict or suggest new cards?

they unlock the drivers so you can use any for your card, no limitation dictated by the installer anymore

Did you properly remove all traces of the drivers before installing the 9800?
