'default monitor' is not a reference to the video card.. monitors tend not

Try to delete it then reboot the machine. When it asks what you want to do
with the new device, let it search the net for the latest driver. Otherwise, it may not be supported. You can check if it is by going to www.windowsvista.com and looking under the compatability hardware list. wrote in message oups.com...

The VGA save driver takes over if attempts to install incorrect drivers are
made.. which driver version are you trying to install? wrote in message oups.com... On 31 Mar, 01:20, "FLBuilder" wrote: Have you tried to update the drivers for it? wrote in message oups.com...

oups.com... Vista won`t recognise the above card going to personalize reports it as Default monitor on, this is driving me crazy nVidia aren't currently "supporting" the 5xxx series of cards and as such there is no video driver for them and Windows will use the generic VGA driver. What support there is, is left over from the beta stages of Vista, so have a look around for the 9x.xx series of drivers. They're quite buggy, but will "work" to some level until nVidia decide to start supporting them again (their support pages infer they will do this once they've got the 6/7/8 cards working better). You may also need to force device manager to install them. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK. Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User. http://www.windowsresource.net/ *Remove nospam. to reply by e-mail*
