Did you try cleaning your drivers first? If not do so by getting Driver Sweeper here:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1655


It works great for Vista. and follow this guide:

Quote:
1) R/Click My Computer
2) Select Manage> Device Manager
3) Expand Display Adapter> R/Click NVIDIA GeForce xxxx/ATI Radeon xxxx
4) Select Uninstall> Confirm Device Removal> OK
5) Restart Computer
6) Enter Safe Mode..Tap F8 during Post
7) Once in Safe Mode> Run Driver Sweeper> Select nVidia (not nForceChipset/For ATI select ATI, ATI CCC, ATI WMD)> start analyzing and then Clean.
8) Restart Computer> Cancel out of New Found Hardware Wizard
9) Navigate to the Location of your Drivers and Install.
