    Methods:
    1. Have Disk
    2. Used Driver cleaner also
    3. Used Safe mode also.
    4. Restarted comp each time.


    Everytime i am forced to return to factory driver i.e. 98.15



    BUT ..the same drivers work on XP laptop & give great performance.




    So, Anyone knows a hotfix for Vista-Basic 32-bit? Does SP1 Solve these problems?

    Or should i finally say Vista good bye?

    My laptop is great (check signature)...GPU is great for HL & HL2 mods...


    Its just that Vista is causing problems
