XFX GeForce 9800GT and Vista 64-bit

[Dice2121]

This is my very first PC build.

I pop in the disc and everything runs fine except when I try to install the Windows Drivers, it gives me a "CD read error. Please try again.". Manual says to try using Explorer to manually get the setup running but when I do that it gives me a message saying that it has detected that I'm using Vista 64-bit, not 32 which is what I think the disc was built for and would explain the first error.

Any suggestions???

I don't understand. Windows driver? If you mean the your 9800GT driver, than you can just download it off nvidia.com and install it straight from your desktop. If you mean DirectX 10 you can do the same from Microsoft.

Use this driver.

Or this driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_185.68_beta.html

This driver adds some features, but it is a beta so there may be some instability(i use it although and have not noticed any instability under folding, crysis, cod4, and ambient occlusion is pretty sweet).

OK... I'll download the real one. I'll wait on the Beta.

Thanks for your help!
