Then install the 64 bit drivers so that the drivers are the corect ones for

I installed the drivers hoping it would cure my SLI problem with 2 6800GT's
as it is now supposed to support SLI but one still shows a code 39 error in
the device manager.

Well, "fixed" is pretty strong word.
With 101.41, my 7300GT is better than it was, but it's still crashing when I
enable Aero display, albeit not quite as often. So far 97.46 have been the
worst, and 101.41 might be the best. But, they've still got work to do. It
is nice, however, to see that nVidia isn't standing still.

What is it about Aero Display that makes it so important to you?
Only that it's supposed to work. And, the fact that it doesn't work without
crashing makes me wonder if the problem is a defective 7300GT card, or if
it's simply a driver problem.
For some people, Vista and the software are tools to another end. For me, as
a technology writer and consultant, the system working correctly is an end
in and of itself. When I do screen shots for an article or a book, it's
important (to my editors) that it look the way it's supposed to look.
From a utility standpoint, Aero adds nothing as far as I can tell. But, I
typically use only Office and a few other programs. I don't know if Aero is
useful in games or other heavy duty graphics programs, since I don't run
games or other graphically intensive programs.
But, from an "it's there, so it darn well better work" standpoint, it's a
nagging feeling that something isn't quite right. It's like a rattle in the
back of a new car. When you put a blanket in the trunk, you can't even hear
it. But, knowing it's there creates a nagging feeling in your gut.
In my case, I bought a new computer this past Wednesday. It was set up with
Aero, and was crashing right out of the box. So... is the problem a defect
with this computer? Or, does every T470 equipped with a 7300GT have the
identical problem with Aero? Is this a case that the box builders never
encountered this problem? Or, did they knowingly send crashing computers
into the retail channel?
Do I strip everything I've installed off it and drive 50 miles and trade
this for another box that might do exactly the same thing? Or will it
ultimately work correctly if I just hang in there and wait for nVidia to
conquer all of the demons?

NVidia has released 100.65 WHQL, read the release notes to see if it helps
with any of the problems you are having.

The 100.65 drivers were released 2 weeks ago on February 20th. The newer
101.41 drivers have incorporated a more bug fixes as decripbed in their
release notes.

I tried 100.65 a few days ago, then dropped back to .64 because it seemed a
little more stable on this system. Now I'm wondering if 96.85 might work
better. A lot of the recent revisions to the drivers have been to get SLI
working, which I don't use. I've tried 97.46 and 100.64 through 101.41, and
none of them let Aero run (Aero appears to make some of those deep
UAC-induced dives less traumatic, I've discovered, in comparing this
computer with another that runs Vista.)

I'm going to guess it's a defective video card. I just bought an HP box with
a very crappy 7300LE (which standads for Loser Edition). This card can't
finish the 3dmark06 test, but it so far as run Aero just fine. I popped in a
6600 card and it ran aero fine as well. I'm using the 101.41 drivers
If you have a box from Dell\HP or other, it might very well be the crap they
load on it.
The HP PC, out the box and on boot, as 58 process running. My DIY box with
vista loaded has 37 process loaded. That's 20 extra memory eating, possible
conflicting programs, running everytime I boot. Since HP doesn't supply a CD
I can just format an install with, I just did the manual, un-install of
everything and disabled all those stupid little start-up programs. Maybe
that fixed a problem before I had it.
I myself don't use aero that much, but the Girlfriend loves it, cause it's
pretty. No crashes on her system. I've ran it off and on, and so far no
crashes, but again, I probably don't run it enough to know for sure.
