    Sounds like the drivers for your graphics card need to be upgraded to become Vista compatible? That may not be as easy to find or available yet. Some drivers still lagging behind but if you use a major video card from Nvidia or ATI then probably they have drivers already?

    Terminator, you have an NVIDIA graphic card (most likely 6800 gt/ultra). Simply download and install the drivers from HP's webpage (http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/...splay=drivers). You made no mistake in reverting back to MCE.
