I have Windows Vista RTM (6000) and I realized that after installing, my nVidia GeForce FX 5500 256MB PCI card (NOT PCI-EXPRESS) was not really support. Everything was normal but I didn't get any 3d effects or transparent windows.

I had to install Thico's drivers for OSx86 and it worked fine, but when installing nVidia's drivers for Vista it crashed my system. The screen when black with the blinking "_" (underscore) and after restart it was the same.

 

So I'm wondering if there is anyway to get it fully supported? I have DirectX9 and OpenGL 1.5 which OSx86 fully supports QE/CI. I'm aware that Windows Vista uses DirectX 10, but I'm sure a card with 9 is supported?

Is your Graphics cards pixel Shader 2.0 capable?
