I have Vista installed (Build 5384) and I have Nvidia 7900 GT cards. SL will not run even though it worked fine in XP.

I get a, "Your video card appears to be GDI generic......" message, then it asks if I want to run anyway. I click YES and it then says "Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported."

I have the latest drivers from the Nvidia website so why won't this work? Please help I miss my SL !!!

Xp uses another driver so that one is easy.
