Installed. STrangely enough it's not solved my Vista Networking issues. (Firefox can't open about 50% of sites, and Steam don't work at all, grrrr.)

I've been having severe problems after installing vista on my Z71V laptop

First I thought it had to do with Aero and screensavers and /or sleep, but now it turns out the desktop coudl go all wonky on me even while using Vista Basic theme. On top of this if I close my laptop lid it would turn the monitor off but not turn it back on again. I am also experiencing system freeze leading to laptop overheating because the fan is not able to throttle up for some reason. Resettting the laptop has the bios automatically shutting down processors and putting fans on full blast to cool itself.

I am using 100.65 :/

2 bug fixes? call me cynical, but why didn't they just wait till they had a few more bugs fixed before making us download their massive driver.

WHQL seal probably does NOT include OpenGL acceleration or SLI support. Does the driver pass the suite of tests designed for Windows (desktop acceleration, DirectX)? Yes.
