Default Problem w/ Vista and PT880 Pro/Ultra
Ok, first up my system-specs:

ASrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 (PT880 Pro/Ultra chipset)
GeForce 7800 GS+ (AGP; special version of a 7900 GT made by Gainward)
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit (error also occured on 64-Bit tho)

Now to the problem: I can't run Vista without putting the shell (the theme) to Aero Glass. As soon as I put it to anything else (older themes), I get lots of graphical errors. I heard something about that the mainboard - since it has AGP and PCI-Express - causes this problem. I can't put screenshots of the problem in here though because I tried it and then it just looks right. Just imagine you'd browse through Windows and some elements from previous windows would still be there, partially... It looks horrible. Does anyone know a way how to solve it? I've asked the ASRock-Support about it and they failed...

Yep. I'm having the 4CoreDual-SATA2 R1.0 though, and I use the BIOS 2.00. Still, didn't helped me with the problem.

Yup. Vista Ultimate 32-Bit. Had the same error with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. However, the bug does not occur with Vista's integrated Nvidia-Drivers (Aero works, the older themes have no bugs.), but since I play newer games... I can't use such old drivers. x.x Tested it myself and I got massive graphical issues in some games right now, especially in Juiced 2...

The drivers which are bugfree are below the 1xx.xx-label. Like, 9x.xx-Drivers. Newest drivers are labeled 175.16.

Well you may have to wait for better drivers, have you e-mail Nvidia about this?

Not helping. And others who own similar mainboards and also AGP-Cards (Nvidia- as well as ATI-Cards) on Vista have the same graphical issues...

€dit1: Only seems to happen with Nvidia-AGP-Cards. I've written a support-ticket to Nvidia about this.
