Re: Windows Vista, new video card
Um, how exactly will Vista become "unusable" when a service pack is released??? Aren't service packs supposed to ENHANCE software???

Re: Windows Vista, new video card
I have pretty extensive usage with the Vista beta since I am helping develop some games for it. And from that I can say that Vista beta is very "beta". I would not even concern yourself if something doesnt run on it. Wait another 6mos or so and if it still doesnt work maybe worry then.

Re: Windows Vista, new video card
Hehe 
I've actually found it to be quite stable so far, but maybe I haven't pushed it enough 
Anyway, I got the game to run by running it in windowed mode, so that issue seems to be resolved

Re: Windows Vista, new video card
Ed, he said, "usable" - the last versions that MS put out that were semi-usable on first commercial release was Win95, maybe Win98. No one should ever get the latest "greatest" version of Windoze until _after_ the first service pack.
Programmers who've been developing for Vista (like the lead guy for Stardock) are likewise very dubious about it.

Re: Windows Vista, new video card
Never expect anything to run on a Beta, that's why its a Beta.
Since it works in windowed mode it does sound like OpenGL could be the problem. The other alternative would be the graphics driver itself. Either way I wouldn't expect a fix until Nvidia start releasing Vista drivers.

Re: Windows Vista, new video card
Indeed, that is why I _NEVER_ downloaded any beta windows version. Even the retail windows versions are bugged and not 100% stable, so what do you expect from a windows beta?
