Strange, you seem to be missing that the Video was supported under XP,
and with such a dramatic change in what MS supports, making most video
invalid, you would thing that MS would either provide basic support for
most video or allow one to fall-back to the older video modes in order
to retain their investment.

You can install the Windows XP drivers as I've already said, and lose the new features. It's obviously not supported by nVidia, but as they don't support the cards no matter what, there's not a lot you can do.

You seem to be missing the fact that nVidia *chose* not to support not only your graphics card but mine too. nVidia were told what changes were being made years ago, before the 5xxx were even released. They were developing the drivers, and they then were cut, cancelled, killed, just like that *after* Windows Vista came out.
