| YES - Two reasons it is Vista and you need to play by Vistas rules. I have two VISTA machines one I do what I want and it doesn't run worth a poop, the other I play by Vista's rules and it runs (knock on wood) like a swiss watch.
Second Reason and you will find it in several places on nVidias site a statement that says you should always install windows diver updates for Vista products.
I know someone is going to ask me where on their site is says that and I don't remember. But trust me on this one it does.
You can always call nVidia and verify.
[EDIT] OK here is the link straight from nVida.
»nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvid···opview=1
Microsoft® has made available the following Windows Vista® hotfixes.
NVIDIA recommends that its customers always stay up to date with the latest hotfixes from Microsoft.

They're not really necessary if your system is working fine. |

| If you don't already have the monitor driver installed (will say Plug and Play Monitor), I would install that one only.
That's what I did with both 931BF and 906BW. |

thanks
On the device manager page under the monitor tab it say generic pnp Monitor.Would this mean the drivers are not installed ?
Those two update are optional not recommended like i previously said. |

install the one for the monitor. and just download the latest Vista drivers for your video card from the nvidia website. Simple as that. |
