    I just upgraded my XP to te new Vista beta 2. I came to Nvidia website to find the driver for my 7900 GS on my Dell E1705. However after downloading the driver (~34MB) and run it it couldnt detect any hardware installed on my laptop.

    This is the site where I downloaded the driver ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_88.61.html).

    Any help please?
