    7600GT ForceWare 97.46, can't right click desktop

    recently built a new system (spec below) and installed Vista Ultimate. I am using an MSI NX7600GT T2D256E and installed the latest ForceWare drivers (97.46) after uninstalling/deleting the windows driver.

    The ForceWare driver installed without error and appears to be running fine......only problem is I cannot right click the desktop. When I attempt to RH click it the pointers flashes a little but nothing else happens.

    I have taken some trouble shooting steps already, downloaded driver again, uninstalled/reinstalled driver, rebooted etc.

    System Spec is

    Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi AP
    C2D E6600
    Corsair TwinX XMS2 8500C5D
    MSI NX7600GT T2D256E
    WD Raptor 74GB
    WD Caviar 200GB

    All advice greatfully recieved

    There is also a Vista beta driver 100.59 which might be better, that or try right clicking on the nvidia icon in the taskbar

    Well I downloaded the beta x64 driver and that sorted the right click problem...........however, I have found that I cannot oc my gpu in Vista x64. None of the regular tools (coolbits etc) work!! A thread for another board I think.

    can you select files on the desktop? multiple ones? can you do so in other folders? i've had this bug on vista, it's a os bug to do with folder settings, once i had all my folders set up how i liked then i had this problem.
