    So i got two ssd hard drives and had to reinstall windows. i took windows 7 out and installed vista ultimate because i like the dreamscene and all. now i installed all software for the computer. but in device manager under other devices it shows one as pci device and has the yellow ! on it. what did i miss? i tried to have windows find the driver for it with no luck. what could it be. see pic.

    I guess it's the Ageia Physx card.

    No you don't need to, you can uninstall the NVIDIA PhysX drivers only from the control panel and then install the base AGEIA ones followed by the most recent NVIDIA PhysX ones.
