    I have vista on my Hel80 and I have the latests nvidia drivers, but everytime i play a game the driver stops responding every couple of minutes. Is there anything I cann do, or do I just have to wait till better graphics drivers come out?

    After reading lots of forums etc. I found out that there are many people expreriencing the same problem as you. Most of them are running Vista 64 bit.
    At the moment there is no specific solution/fix to your problem as I researched. So I guess you should just wait for a new Nvidia Vista driver.

    Probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but the problem you are having is due to using software that hasn't had time to mature. Maybe you could go back to XP for a few months until things get better with Vista. Or perhaps the 32 bit version holds up better for your situation.

    Either way, be cautious with shiny new software, that glossy glint in your eye can sometimes cause damage if proper precautions aren't taken. :cool:
