    Greetings - I am having problems with the Nvidia FX2500 in a Dell M90. I use 177.98 from laptopvideo2go in XP and it runs pretty well (its a dual-booter). However, I cannot find a good working set of Vista drivers. I downloaded FX2500 drivers from Dell when I installed Vista (SP1) and the WEI for games is very good at 5.6. But, I get a pretty bad flickering problem when I try to play SWAT4 in Vista. I searched here on NBR and Google - but I haven't found much success. Does anyone know of a stable driver set?

    Just in case anyone else is trying to find Vista drivers for the FX2500 - after lots of trial and error I found that 179.13 from laptopvideo2go works perfectly. No flickering - no artifacts - SWAT4 plays beautifully AND the WEI for games rose to 5.8!!
