Aero is gone, can't use NVIDIA

My laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card and came with XP media center. After i installed vista home premium the first time, NVIDIA was still intact, allowing me to enable it and giving me the aero option along with much better graphics. I reinstalled vista home premium again (cleaning off my computers files) and now I can't seem to "enable" my NVIDIA graphics card, probably because I have no files. What can I do in order to get it running? Right now my graphics are pretty crummy. It's an 8 bit standard VGA graphics adapter.

Go to NVIDIA.com and check out the Vista beta (or not) driver download for your card--assuming there is one. NVIDIA has betas for most of its cards.

Yeah... you simply need the new drivers:

The drivers aren't betas anymore.
