I am drawing a blank too. Literally.

nVidia Ge-Force 6600 with (you guessed it) DVI-I.

Beta 2 ran OK on my nV 5200 card. I upgraded to the 6600 and it woulnd't
install the new driver. It would still boot in to VGA resolution. Looks like
the problem got worse on RC1. Things are supposed to improve, aren't they?

Compatibility is a very important thing to most people. I hope MS
understands the import of these problems.

If you have upgraded to the RC1 version of Vista download the 96.33 NVIDIA
Vista RC1 drivers. If necessary boot into the safe mode and install the
drivers from there.

Actually, I fixed it earlier today by unpluging the DVI cable. I am using DVI
to HDMI for my HDTV.

Before this I couldn't see anything on my VGA monitor or the DVI. Unplug it
and my monitor works fine.

I would have updated this after I did it, but RC1 was having trouble
displaying these forums. I had to return to XP to make the post. Funny, isn't
it? Fix one bug, find another...

FireFox, this web site made an error now. Is it in pre-release also? Now lets
try MSIE...)
