No idea, I don't know how much the NVidia drivers support, nor do I have
a PC capable of running Vista.
Did you try the patch I sent once (attached)?
You could also try the beta drivers to see if that makes a difference -
though I doubt it since they are barely newer, and NVidia developers are
reportedly stuck at wrangling with Vista's DRM so there isn't that much
real development...
