    I have been reading post here and debating on installing Vista Ultimate 64-Bit on my P-172X FX, are the drivers that they have listed on the Gateway site up to date? Or should I just go to the manufactures websites and download them?

    An example of one is:

    D20252-002-001.exe - NVIDIA Video Driver version: 7.15.11.6746
    Supports: Windows Vista (64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit)

    http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/ddaStep.asp?platform=10022&model=11880&os=11271&type=&st=browse

    and I did read the "P-6860 / P-172X-FX Vista 64 Driver Guide" thread

    Check the 2nd post in the thread.

    Edit: Simul-post I think. Anyway, I followed that guide and everything works but the UPEK ProtectorSuite QL, which gateway distributes in a 32 bit only version. The driver works but the program that utilizes it doesn't.
