Default NVIDIA releases RC2 Vista driver

Does anyone have install problems with the RC2 driver? My rc2 recognizes the
64bit version as a 32 bit version and wont let me install. Is there anything
im missing?

There are two separate driver packages - one for x64 and one for x86. The
64 bit version clearly has winvista_x64 in the middle of it's name. I had
no problems installing it on RC 2 x64.

tx Mark,
im aware of the distinction between the 2 packages. Nevertheless my system
doesnt recognize them as such. I've also checked if i had the latest version
of my bios. Its up to date. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Tx in
advance!

(i have a dual boot system with XP MCE 2005, 32 bit)

Had same problem with you had with VISTA RC2_nvidia drivers. Here is how i
got them to install. Find folder where drivers were extracted to. The folder
labels itself as NVIDIA. Next, open folder, and click on the setup.exe. This
will install the drivers for you.

The newest Nvidia driver would not give me 1440 x 900 resolution for my 19"
widescreen. Anyone else have this problem? I had to go back to the previous
version.

I had screen problems with RC2 drivers :

BF2142 ... menu is jumping around, game play is corrupted
CS:S ... game play is corrupted (can`t play at all)
Gothic III ... can`t start ( with any nvidia driver )

Switched back to RC1 drivers. Running Vista RC2.

Play in windowed mode. Slower but it works.

There's some bugs in full-screen mode.
