I just installed Vista Beat 2 on my M90 with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M and I have the same freeking problem. I chekched on the NVIDIA site and they seem to have a Vista Beta 2 driver for the FX 1500M but there is none for the FX 2500M! When can we count on a beta driver from Dell for this graphic card? What is the point to label the superb M90 with the "Windows Vista Capable" logo if it does not have a driver out of the box for a high end graphic card?
Regards,
Andy

I tried the nvidia beta driver from their site just in case but it says I don't have appropriate hardware for it.

i got a working driver by doing the following;
downloading the release from this thread http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9820
extracting the files into a folder and then downloading the .inf file from the same thread and overwriting the one that was extracted.
i then went into hardware manager and updated the display adapter from there, rather than running the set-up provided in the release, by pointing it to look for the .inf file in the folder created above.
this worked fine and appears to give me a very capable graphics driver for my m90 quadro fx 1500M and has made windows vista beta 2 look much much prettier :D

Thanks for you instructions... these also worked for me using a Quadro FX 2500M on Vista Beta 2.
I did get a warning to upgrade graphis drivers after reboot, which I ignored.
My overall Performance Rating is now 3:
5.1 Processor: Genuine Intel(r) T2600 @ 2.16Ghz (Dual Core)
4.4 RAM : 2,00 GB
3.7 Harddisk: 22.68GB Free (34.18 Total)
3.1 Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M
3.6 Gaming Graphics: 512 MB Graphics Memory
I hope that the Graphics Rating will get better, when a more capeable driver is release. My 4 years old Dell Dimension 8400 desktop with at ATI 9600TX scores a overall Rating of 3 too. But my M90 is running Areo much much better.
Also I don't understand why my 2 GB 667Mhz Dual Channal Ram is only scoring 4.4. I'v heard of another person with slower ram scoring more that 5? Finally I don't get why the Harddisk is only looking at my primary partition.
I would say that this machine should score at least 4.

Before I reinstalled Vista I formatted my M90 and partitioned it into two partitions. Installing XP on the first and then installing Vista on the second seemed to work fine and now I have dual boot - Vista just picked up on the XP install and set it up in the boot menu.
