I've got a fresh install of Vista x64, and when I install the Geforce drivers I'm not able to boot Windows normally. The green loading bar runs fine, but when it's over I don't get to see the login screen - it's just black. I have to enter into safe mode (which works) and uninstall the graphics driver.

The exact same thing is true for Windows XP 64-bit. But on WinXP the driver installation program caused huge lag also: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=71101

Help?

Graphics: XFX 8800 GTX
Mainboard: Asus Striker II Extreme

EDIT: Bootlog attached.
 
Install the driver which came with the CD (for your card) or just install the latest again

Boot to Safe mode, (admin privlidged of course) and then go to your Display Advanced Properties
Change the Monitor refresh rate down to 60Hertz
Ok and restart

Still the same?

Go back to Safe Mode
Start-->Run-->dxdiag
Go to Display Tab
Disable all 3 Accelerators
Restart in Normal Mode

Working now?
If that fixed it, you might need to do all your Drivers and Security Updates from MS
Then try Enabling one at a time
