stupid @!(*@% Direct3d...

Just upgraded my video card from 6600GT to 7800GT and also added RAM for a total of 2GB (see system rig)

And direct3d is just not working right... I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them but still to no avail. When i tested D3d using DXDiag, my messages are as follows:

The file nv4_disp.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)

Is there a WHQL for this card? I am certain that these are the most recent drivers from nVidia's site, version 81.94.

EDIT:: just saw on nvidias site that the newest version is 81.95 which supposedly has WHQL certifiaction, but during install, it warns me that the driver has not passed the logo test thing... does that matter?

EDIT:: fourth trys a charm! It installed and Dx was able to test D3D and it passed!
