Greetings,
I just tried my first game post Vista install. It's an older game that I've been playing again recently on my former XP box (Star Trek Elite Force II). Because it's an older game it fortunately shows us what it is doing at startup so I see everything that failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This led me to once again do what I did right after the Vista install which was to grab the latest drivers from nVidia. I have the nVidia Geforce4 Ti 4200. When I try to install either their Vista driver or latest XP driver I get the following errorr messages.
First:
Setup could not find any hardware which supports these drivers. Installation will now terminate.
then:
Setup detected that the operating system in use is not Windows Vista. This setup program and it's associated drivers are intended for use only on Windows Vista. Installation will now terminate.
Any suggestions please? I'm going over to the nVidia site now to see if they have any too.
Thank you.
OpenGL, Nvidia and Vista
Install your graphics card drivers ;o)

Did you leave an existing copy of xp on the pc. Perhaps that is why you cant install the vista drivers. If you have a windows.old folder on your hd that could be the problem.

Thanks for the thought and yes, I do indeed have windows.old but since this is just a folder for reference, not an installed and operating system I sincerely doubt it's the cause. I think it is more likely to be the fact that nVidia haven't yet made a driver available for the older cards under Vista.
I think I might try having a look at the post install nVidia folder to see if I can make the changes their guide suggests when they talk about unzipping the driver (which you can't since it's an exe).
In any case today I ordered a new card for my older AGP slot :
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P450-8596
Yes it's not the best and certainly isn't PCIe but from all the reviews I've read seems fantastic for an AGP. :) I'm hoping that this will give me the graphics boost I need for Vista, etc.

Im having the exact same problem with the game soldier of fortune 2, i have a radeon 9800pro and the vista drivers 2. Whats this about a opengl client driver that could fix this issue?? anybody know?
