Yes I have heard the same about the 100 version drivers they work better on the PCIe, and for some reason I cannot use them with Vue, or I have major glitches and crashes. I have been part of the NVidia Beta program so keep a xlose eye on the drivers.  NVidia is really trying its best to get the 7000 and 8000 series working with Vista. They know they have a lot of competition with ATI now.

 

Yes, e-On has relegated Vista as a next year we will take care of the prog, but this year we will concentrate on XP and the internal Vue problems. They are pretty much pushing now for Vista users to go the compatibility route, since there is little they can do other than rewrite the code, and that will tear everything else up.

 

So, Microsoft has a few KB’s that deal with programs like Vue that refuse to work in Vista and settings that you can institute that have helped some.

Of special interest was setting the Vue.exe to the following that helps stop crashing on small scenes.

 

Select the file and right click and from the Menu select Properties and select the tab named Compatibility;

 

  1. Check: Run this program in compatibility mode: Windows XP (SP 2)
  2. Check: Disable visual themes.
  3. Check: Desktop composition.
  4. Check: Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
  5. Run this program as an administrator.

Selecting these features can also give Vue upto a 20% memory boost taken from the system resources. These resources are returned as soon as you close the APP.
