Vista 64 bit beta driver issues

[Mirey86]

I'm using Vista Business 64 bit and I noticed I cannot install beta Nvidia video card drivers...after doing some Googling apparently 64 bit versions of vista do not allow you to use beta drivers that don't have digitally signed signatures...there is apparently a work around in which you can hit the F8 key on bootup and choose the option to 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement'

but this only works for the current boot session...I tried this method and it still did not work every time...do I need to go into F8 every time I boot my system up with the beta drivers or only the first time I install the beta drivers?

makes it a real pain to install beta drivers in Vista

Try the whql certified version 176.16
Make sure your video card hardware/chipset version are in the list of compatible devices.

if you go to nzone.com and click on the beta drivers link, the download page it takes you to has beta drivers that can be installed on vista x64.

During the install you get a warning message, if you click continue it will install normally.
