Often you have to lie to get any support from the manufacturer, tell
them you use Windows XP.
The nVidia 8xxx series is plagued by problems such as this, with most
of the issues being caused by incompatible controllers on the
motherboard. You can blame Microsoft and their lax standards as to
what is and isn't "Vista Ready" or directx 10 capable for these
problems.
You are basically stuck with three choices, downgrade to a 7xxx series
video card, use your onboard video, or swap your motherboard for one
with a compatible controller.
