If you install some of the latest NVIDIA drivers (WHQL even) from the NVIDIA
site, you will run into driver conflicts. I still cannot resolve the
conflicts between the driver for my GPU (NVIDIA's) and MediaShield SATA RAID
drivers with those from Microsoft.
If you only go with the MS drivers (from NVIDIA), everything runs fine but
you suffer a performance loss and a lot of the extras like the ability to
enable SATA HDD Command Queueing are lost. On the other hand, if you install
the latest (WHQL) NVIDIA drivers, you will start to have problems like lost
icons, programs where DLLs are "missing" (so it says), and eventually your
MBR, index and then MFT will become corrupted.
So, I think this issue is still up in the air. Right now -- mainly because
I'm tired of losing my *&^^%% RAID0 entire HDD information and starting from
scratch, I'm *not* installing any of the NVIDIA drivers.

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this. I miss playing COD2 in SLi !

Thanks for your response Michel but, as I stated, I have contacted nVidia
for
a fix. And, they obviously weren't able to help ... not the few people I
spoke with anyway. Also, I'm not so sure it's an nVidia issue as much as
a
Windows one. I've never, ever, had one single problem with nVidia driver
installs. Not until now. And, only after switching to Vista. Since the
drivers I DLed from the nVidia site didn't work out nor the ones from the
Visia automatic updates (yes, I realize MS gets them from nVidia), I'm
more
inclined to believe that the problem lies with Vista. For all I know,
maybe
there's just a setting that needs to be changed. Whatever the reason
though,
my money goes on the operating system having both the fault and the
answer.
Come on all you Geeks and Windows Wizards ... somebody who actually knows
about this help me out here!

Hi there,
Your graphic card is Nvidia so you should look at Nvidia for an updated
driver if needed.
Chanching oil in your car is needed to prevent the engine from getting
damaged, using an old good working driver will not damage your graphic
card;)
Your issue with not being able to use SLI might be driver or bios
related.
The chipset and graphic cards somehow do not want to work well together,
so
this is an Nvidia issue and the chipset brand you should try to get
support
for the problem there.
Wish you good luck on solving the problem, searching with a search engine
might be helpfull in finding some clues.
Best regards,

RE: "Find the code's context in the install log.
If that doesn't give enough clues activate verbose logging for the
update
(if there is such an option.)
If that doesn't give enough clues use ProcMon to supplement both
with any interleaving registry and file accesses."
That sounds like a great idea ... if only I had a clue what it all
meant.
It also sounds like a lot of work. In fact, resulting in an impossible
amount for dummies like me who will surely do more damage than good.
Those
big words are impressive though!
Microsoft needs to fix this problem and not leave it up to hamheads
like
me.
For what it's worth, I too have this same problem & error code,
regardless
of updating via the Vista updates or the nVidia site. In both cases,
the
same thing happens. The driver installation goes seemingly smooth
right
through the last screen that prompts a restart. During the restart,
Vista
appears to load in a normal manner up to the point where (I think) it
switches away from the base VGA drivers to the installed ones. The
monitor
will briefly flash a blue screen with the monitor throwing up the usual
"no
video input" message. This only lasts a second or two then the screen
goes
black (not from the monitor turning off ... just a black screen). The
black
screen stays that way FOREVER, and while waiting, I saw that the hard
drive
remained active doing who-knows-what (I finally gave up after waiting
12
hours). The system never really "locked up" it seemed. And the hard
drive
activity was intermittent but not following any noticeable pattern.
The
only
way past this was booting to safe mode. Turning off all the
unnecessary
crap
via msconfig didn't help. Any attempt to do a normal boot ended at
exactly
the same place and with the same unending hard drive use & lack of
video.
An nVidia tech told me to try uninstalling then reinstalling in safe
mode
so
as to prevent possible corruption from all the Vista security stuff
interfering with the installation process (which he claimed was usually
the
cause of driver problems when using the ones from windows updates).
Sounded
promising, but still no dice. Same situation when trying to boot
normally.
The only way around it has been to uninstall the device & drivers, then
reinstall the old ones that the Vista installation disk had.
As for the "well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality ... then
why
bother changing the oil in your car ... or, buying new clothes while
growing?
Or, in my case, why care about the fact that I have a second GeForce
7300
in
there just lounging around because I can't enable SLI with the WDDM
drivers
(haven't found a way anyhow .. if anyone knows I'd sure like to hear
it).
No, I spent way too much time & money here to stay satisfied without
ever
being able to update the drivers. It also wasn't something I planned
while
shelling out 380 clams for Vista Ultimate.
So, my friends, if someone actually knows the solution to this, I'd
sure
appreciate the benefit of your knowledge. No guesses please ... they
may
be
cheap, but there's a reason for that.
