Help.........Issue with GeForce FX 5200

[Guest]

I just installed Vista RC1 and having trouble in installing Nvidia GeForce FX
5200. Got the latest Vista drivers from Nvidia site, however as they are not
Digitally Signed, Vista disables the card upon reboot.

Driver details: Nvidia
Date: 08.26.2006
Version: 9.6.3.3
Signer: Not Digitally Signed.

Any help to enable the card? I use it to connect to my Plasma TV and worked
well with MCE 2005.

You may also need to update your MOBO BIOS for the Vista RC1 Beta drivers to
work properly. Signing should not be an issue since it does not relate to
the ability of the cards to work. See the following:

How much onboard memory does your 5200 card have?

Well you certainly have enough memry but you have not said if you checked
for a BIOS update.

You would go to the WebSite of the manufacturer of your computrers Mother
Board(MOBO) to see if they have a newer BIOS (Basic /I/O system)firmware
than that shows up when you boot your PC.
