How can I identify what version of Nvidia Forceware drivers is installed in Vista? THe version number under device manager never matches the forceware version on Nvidia's site? Anyway to determine?
 
Open the NVIDIA Control Panel from Windows Control Panel (type nvidia in the search box) and click the System Information button on the bottom left. The driver version is shown on the Display tab.
 
Or just type "dxdiag" (without the quotes) in the search bar/run bar, then when Dxdiag pops up, click on the "Display" tab and the driver version will be on the right column. :)

This version number is rarely used or seen, however. The one given by the Nvidia control panel is much more useful for comparison purposes.

Actually, it's the same thing. If you look at the end, the last 4 digits match your number.

So in dxdiag I see 6.14.0010.9424 ... the last field with the 9424 will always be the same as the name of the driver in the nvidia CP: "94.24"

Yeah. The versions over 100 use something like 7.15.0011.6004 (Vista) for ForceWare 160.04.
