I downloaded and isntalled the newest 75.03 LDDM beta drivers off the vista 75.03 drivers (although it doesnt say 64 bit)... I cant get aero glass to work on my system. Has anybody else gotten the 64 bit version and aero glass working with a 6xxx series card?

I got it working but can only see about a quarter of the desktop. Currently looking for a fix other than rolling back, not easy when you can't see whatever dialogs are being opened somewhere off the screen! :D

There are no nVidia 64bit drivers that have LDDM support right now. The 75.03's are 32bit drivers (I had Glass working fine on 32bit with these drivers, but can't on 64bit).

I missed the 64 bit part of the OP's post... I just rolled back the 32-bit version of the 75.03 drivers cos it seems you either have no Aero and see everything, or Aero and a screwed up display. Had to drop to 800x600 which was just about enough to get the job done.

A bit freaky how whenever Vista does something with drivers it scans the floppy drive repeatedly for 3 or so seconds but there we go.

Got to get the network sorted and then fix the boot.ini so I can boot XP64 again :)
