Ok, I have An NVidia GeForce MX 4000 Graphics card on my Windows Vista Desktop, and I have a tough problem. When I start up my machine, It starts up ok, the startup where it says "(C) 2006 MS Corp." works, the startup sound works, then it goes to where it says 'welcome', and then the whole screen turns to black, I could only move the mouse and stuff, and when I got to Ctrl-Alt-Del and go to the task manager, I open explorer.exe, and it still doesnt work... this card only works under safemode......does anyone know what the prob. is? Do I have to get a driver specifically for Vista? If so, where? )I can not find a driver (vista) for this card on NVidia's site)
thanks,
Murphjames

I am sure you need a driver! Try nvidia and see if they have one out yet. The reason your display works in safe mode is that it defaults to the windows driver.

NVidia GeForce MX 4000 is a DirectX 8 card.
Nvidia Vista drivers only support DX 9 class cards, aka FX, GF6, GF7 series and of course the DX 10 class cards, 8800 series.

when you boot into Safe Mode, Windows loads a very generic graphics card driver, not the one from the manufacturer of the card.
Since the screen goes blank when you boot into Windows, it is either a resolution set too high problem or a driver issue.
When you boot into Safe Mode, use the Device Manager to delete the Video Adapter driver. Next boot into Windows normally and reload the driver.

You might me using a beta version or an Release candidate version. Windows Vista Final edition is out only on january 30th. As it is a beta version or an Release candidate there may be bugs.

Vista requires high performance graphics and cpu.
