Nope. Have to wait for newer Forceware drivers.

Are you running the 96.33 NVIDIA drivers? These drivers contain an Open GL
ICD.

I tried them, but then I lost Direct3D support, so I never tried to launch an OpenGL game.

Have you tried them in RC2 x64 and confirmed them working?

Cant really provide you with a direct download link, but I suggest
you try using a search engine and entering some keywords
such as Download Windows Vista x64 then looking at a few of the results.

Really hope Nvidia release some new drivers soon... I want OpenGL to work!.. *grr*

Nope the Nvidia drivers that ship with RC2 do not support OpenGL at all.

The Nvidia RC1 drivers don't work under RC2 don't even try it. You will
lose all hardware acceleration.

Only thing you can try to get OpenGL to work is to install older nvidia
drivers. It will disable Aero, but OpenGL works for me once I do that (but
when you do that many DirectX games with have issues, my oh my!).

I have RC1 and I have minimal driver acceleration, after I'm done playing it
crashes the entire PC.
