According to ATI: "ATI is one of the first graphic providers to make a 64-bit driver that supports the Longhorn Display Driver Model (LDDM) – the Microsoft Vista revolutionary graphic driver standard – as well as the first to provide LDDM drivers for integrated graphics processors. By making LDDM drivers available more than a full year prior to Windows Vista release, ATI provides developers with a stable, feature-enabled and performance-optimized platform for application development. ATI is also the first to provide Catalyst® Windows Vista driver feedback via our Catalyst® Crew Feedback program." The following graphics cards are supported by this driver:

Vista includes drivers, but these are higher performance than the windows made drivers.

Latest Nvidia drivers are version 87.43.

64- and 32-bits for downloading:

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9073

The x64 drivers are much better than 87.15 that you can download from Nvidia. When mowing windows with glass on, they don´t lag.

Asus P5WDG2-WS (i975X Express) | 3.73GHz @ 4.08GHz | 2GB DDR2-800MHz @ 864MHz 5-4-4-9-5 | Raptor 2x150GB SATA/RAID 0 | Gainward 7800GTX 256MB | Samsung 24" | Enermax 660W 35A @ +12V | 5049 3DMarks 2006 | XP Pro x64.

Why does it not support GeForce 4?

My computer can run vista, so am I just expected not to have ANY drivers than the vista supplied ones, that crash on some games?

I know I cant support Aero effects, and such, but why has support been removed from my graphics card, that runs games I play fine.

So I cannot install Nvidia XP drivers, I get the message "you are not using a version of windows", and for Vista, I get the message "You are not using windows vista".

Great.

Running Vista on [P4 2.8][512 Ram][GeForce4 Ti4600,no damn Nvidia support][Soundblaster live 5.1, no damn Creative Support][BenqFP71G Monitor, no damn BenQ support].....Hope this forum helps me get support

I updated the Nvidia Beta 2 driver links in the first post. Are those the drivers you have tried? It most likely gave the driver error in vista because you used a driver for an earlier build of vista.

Yes, I tried those, but I went directly to the Nvidia site to get them.

I managed to install the XP drivers, by using the compatibility trick another admin post stated I should try.

Now, games that didnt work now work, and games that worked without any driver, just the windows standard, such as counterstrike source, do not work. Yay. Well, I guess I should be happy that a higher percentage of games work now....
