Default vista rc1 and nvida go 6600 can't use Areo in Toshiba Laptop

I have a Toshiba M40 (Canadian product) attempting to run RC1 with Areo.

Pentium M
1.5 G memory
Nvidia FX GO 6600

Vista is able to detect and download
NVidia GForce Go 66000 driver version 7.3.4.0 dated May 5, 2006 from Windows
update

Question:

1) This driver detects the card as DirectX version 8. It IS a directx
version 9 card. Is there a setting somewhere that I can tweak?

2) I downloaded the NVIDIA driver from the nvidia web site (ForceWare
Release 95
Version: 96.33 Release Date: September 1, 2006 BETA Driver) and it was
unable to detect this card. Any idea why?

3) How to you manually switch to areo?
