nvidia quadro nvs 120m

I have installed Vista Beta2 on a Dell D820 with the following specs: Duo Core 2.0Ghz, 2GB RAM, 80GB HD, nVidia Quadro NVS120m w/ 512mb RAM, Broadcom network and Intel Wireless. This is on the highest quality display they ship with , resolution up to 1920 X 1200.
I cannot get Areo to work, I keep getting BlueScreens due to video drivers, and I cannot use any of the UI modifications - ie: colors etc. The OS identifies my video card as a GeForce Go 7400 NOT a Quadro NVS 120m. Has anyone else seen this issue? I tried installing the new drives from nVidia but apparently it is not for the Quadro NVS adapters because it reports that it cannot find a supported video adapter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

NVIDIA has not released any vista-compatible drivers for the Quadro series. The Quadro is based on the GeForce 7400, so Vista is doing a good job actually, or it won't load at all. The problem is that the max resolution in VGA mode is 1600x1200. Try lowering to that and try hooking up the screen in VGA mode not DVI.

There is some Quadro support in Vista, but not for that card: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_31325.html

Sorry, everybody has the same problem with that video card. The card is based on the 7400 so that's why Vistais detecting that. The problem seems to be with the DVI. For one I don't know of anybody who got DVI to work in Vista. On the other hand in VGA the highest resolution for that card is 1600x1200. My suggestion is to try to lower to that, see if you kan hook up a VGA monitor and report the issue to both MS and Dell.....
