Cool, so i just got my FX-5500 in the mail, and put it in my computer. go to install the drivers from the CD it came with and it only had options for XP or Windows 2000, so i went to the NVIDIA driver downloads page, and there were only options for Vista and not Windows 7.
I'm downloading the Vista drivers to see what happens.

If that doesn't work just let windows auto install it.
EDIT: You might disappointed if you are looking to run the aero UI with that video card. You also might have a hard time installing it at all.

I don't know why you insisted on buying like a 5 year old graphics card for the same price as a newer one?
EDIT 2: Some people are saying the Vista driver works. Goodluck on everything man, but I still seriously would have got a 6200 or something newer. They are also 30-40bucks.

oh i didn't actually know i posted that last post. Once i wrote it, i installed the vista drivers and it's all good.
Dude, if i had of known BEFORE i purchased that i could get a newer one for the same price, believe me i would have got it.
But anyway, it's all working now and i can watch my family guy without having to transfer to USB and plug into my xbox360.

Grats on getting it to work, but I did post a link to a 6200 before you had got your 5500.

That's unfortunate, the nVidia 5x00 series was horrible.
