I'm updating the drivers for my Nvidia 8600GT on Vista. Their site recommends the forceware 163.69 file, which I download and install:

Have a look here (img374.imageshack.us)

WTF, eh? It's says I'm not running Vista 32 bit. I bloody well am.

599754 2007-10-10 01:01:00 Looks like it maybe a bug (forums.nvidia.com)

Even tho your version maybe later. Try extracting the main exe file, and then run it.

599755 2007-10-10 03:10:00 Yup, that's it. Sorted.

Amusing though... not to mention a little shoddy. They have this lovely little activeX program that detects your hardware, sifts through and finds the appropriate driver for you, then declares that you don't know what OS you are running.

All good fun.

599757 2007-10-11 01:23:00 UAC can cause this too. I tried to install Office 2007 and it said it needed an admin account even though I have the only account and its admin. Turned off UAC and it worked:lol: beeswax34 (63)
