Default Computer Problem

Hey, I just got vista for my pc and so far I cannot get my graphics card to work. It's a Nvida Geforce 7300 and on the Nvidia site it only has a driver for xp. I have a Toshiba recovery cd for my pc but it doesn't have direct software on it, it just installs windows xp and software onto the pc so it would wipe off vista.

In the device manager screen it does not show my card as being installed, it's frustrating because everything else is working fine so far

The driver did not work, unfortuately Vista cannot identify the card whatsoever!!!

Aparently I have a standard VGA graphics adaptor and that is all, my Nvidia card will not come up. Anyone else with ideas?

Have you tried the Omega drivers? Not sure if they have Vista support yet but have a look at it.

this is why im not using vista on my main pc until it has been out for at least a few months. not all company's fully support it and some don't support it at all yet.
