    I partitioned my hdd loaded vista on the 30gb partition the install went fine no errors logged onto the internet etc. updated BIOS (this was done a couple of weeks ago while running XP) video drivers but everytime I go to run the screen saver or start a game like spider solitare I will get the bsod does a memory dump gives the nv4-mini.sys error and shuts off and reboots, vista said to either update the video drivers (which I did) or move the hardware accerlation down to none, I did that but the video sucks is there anything else that I can do?

    What driver are you using?
    Is this on a desktop or a notebook?

    sorry I have the Dell XPS M1710 T7600 2.33ghz 512mb Nvidia GeForce GO 7950 GTX, 2gb ram, so I know that it can handle the vista
