    i installed vista 64 bit on a formatted hdd, everything installed just fine, except the graphics card (d/l from the nvidia site). the card shows up just fine in the device manager, but nowhere else (monitor settings, control panel etc) screen saver wont enable becuse it says i need a new card. computer description shows windows experience index score at 1 (for the graphics/gaming graphics).

    thanks in advance for any help.
