OK Sam, you are a very very lucky man. Would be interesting to know what you did to get it working though?

Well, i first tried installing it on Vista, the original drivers that came with the card didnt actually suppor vista, so i downloaded the ones of the nvidia website. This didnt work too well, as all those problems occured, so i switched to my other hard drive which had a copy of XP on, and installed the drivers that were on the CD which came with the card, and everything seemed to work fine

Well glad its sorted, marked as resolved.
