Whenever I try to run the games included with vista (even
free cell) I get a window with a black screen. Any ideas?

Sounds like a driver problem. A lot of XP drivers don't work right with Vista; make sure you've got the right drivers for everything.

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k. Rule #1

But the games that came with vista aren't displaying in vista.
So something more must be going on...

This is going to sound crazy, but I turned off SLI and
now everything works fine.
That's stupid.

Oh the joys of VISTA. I would rather peel my eyes with a chainsaw than use that OS.
SLI? Two PCIE video cards?? Niiiice.
Now if we could only get them to work..................
XP Pro, FTW.

Yeah. It came standard I think. I just picked whatever
from a list. Doesn't mean I knew what I was doing.

I do have two video cards. I can see them (stupid hardcore
gaming cases are pretty useful, all things considered).

Hey Malfred, I hear there is a service pack coming out for Vista in the next couple of months, so hope on the Horizon...
Aside from that, have you tried downloading any updated drivers for your Video Cards that Vista supports?
