    I've just got a 5920-6A3G16Mi. It has the Intel GMA X3100. All is good with this.

    I've just been doing a little vista tweaking and noticed some NVIDIA stuff on startup. What are these for. As far as i'm aware i have no NVIDIA hardware. Are these essential (I'm thinking not).

    I've enclosed 2 pics of the offending items:

    Are you sure you don't have an NVIDIA GPU ?
    Check the display adapter in device manager....

    I've disabled them anyway, nothing seems to have happened. Hopefully it will stay like this.
