Alright, after a full night, i've determined that this driver is complete crap, at least on a mobile GPU. I left my laptop on all night (like i normally do) and woke up to find that it had locked up in Vista. No big deal, I restart it, and everything is ok for the moment. Get to school, turn it on, guess what. Those damn artifacts are back. This time its worse than it was before. I check the control panel, and its still set to single display performance mode like it should be, yet i'm still getting artifacts. The only other thing I can think of, is that Vista or the drivers more than likely, do not recognize my LCD display as a valid display. When I try to identify the display, nothing happens at all (its never identified). In the control panel, it just shows digital display. Guess i'm gonna have to wait for some new drivers (which means I won't be using Vista until its released next year unless nvidia gets off their ass and gets some "good" drivers out). I'm almost 100% positive Dell wont post any Vista compliant video drivers for this notebook.

Doesn't work with my setup which is a XP2000+ and a FX5900 XT. Actually, the drivers totally messes up the Vista installation so it won't boot. Tried to boot into safe mode and rolled back to the older drivers but it still doesn't boot in regular mode...

Installed RC1 today and put these on. No problems so far from what I can see, though performance doesn't seem to be blinding..

My card is a GeForce 6600GT AGP...

For me it worked, for the most part. When the installation finished it froze Vista, but after a restart, it worked fine but (here's the main problem to me) during the log in screen, the monitor switiches to the highest widescreen resolution so everything is bunched up and there's 1 and a half log in screens :blink:

Log in as normal, and the screen is fixed :D

No noticeable performance improvment on the desktop, so bye-bye drivers :D

Card: GeForce FX 5200

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
