I got Vista yesterday and got it installed, it's working fine except it
didn't properly recognize my video card. When I booted it, it installed a
generic driver for my card, and now thinks I have a 'Standard VGA Graphics
Adapter' instead of my NVIDIA GeForce Go7900GTX. I downloaded NVIDIA's Vista
drivers, but my computer is convinced I have the 'standard vga graphics
adapter' and the installer says it couldn't find any compatable hardware and
exited, so I tried uninstalling it from the device manager and rebooted it,
but Vista beat me to it when I tried to run the installer again, what should
I do?

Check for the newest drivers for GeForce Go7900GTX on:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
 
For drivers for a Vista "GO" card you may need to get it from the system
mnufacturers Website since it appears that the system manufacturer has not
yet provided one to MS and had it approved so that it could have been
available at installation time.
 
Try the drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com They modify the .inf files to
support the mobile cards until you laptop vendor comes out with proper Vista
drivers.

I have been using them successfully for a long time now.
