Display issue with Vista and M1710 with 7950GTX

OK here is what is going on.

Let me preface this by saying I have done several searches and looked through several threads.

my display will all of a sudden get all scrambled (kind of like when you try to run a 7800gtx with 6800 drivers)

if I unplug the power adapter the display will straighten out and if I leave it on battery for a little while I can plug it in and the display with be fine. This also seems to happen when when it comes out of a black display (when it shuts it off if I am not using it for awhile.

it would also do this when the UAC would kick in. I disabled the UAC so that solved some of the issues.

it also does it when when I put it into the D dock.

I am running a clean vista ultimate install and the only 3rd party software I have running is setpoint for my MX5000 (which the mouse is having issues but that is another thread I have to research.

I was using the latest version of the NBF drivers and the screen would go crazy ANY time I would plug in the PSU from battery. I did update to the latest Nvidia drivers from windows update (dec release) and that turned it from an constant issue when I would plug it in to an intermittant one. as I said no if I leave it unplugged for a couple of minutes and plug it back in the screen will be fine.

I have tried several different revisions of power adapters.

I could really use some help on this one.

and again I have done several searches and gone through a ton of threads with no help.

Thanks for any help and support I can get

update screen goes wacky when I open internet explorer

then once the NIC card deactivates I can plug it back in and it works fine

ok I also see that windows update installed actual older drivers than the latest NBF ones

scrambled as in a bunch of diagonal lines if you ever saw a picture of somone who installed a 7800gtx in a gen 2 that didn't clean out the 6800 drivers you would know what I mean. a buddy of mine Djinn suggested it might be the power mizer settings so I am working on that

oh my memory is flashed and overclocked I just can't find the darn power mizer settings in the Nvidia control panel

I am using the NBF drivers right now and will try the laptop2go drivers and inf's shortly.

that doesn't work i am just going to get dell to swap my card a few times then have them replace the whole system with a 1730 because when I bought this 1710 with a T7600G it was suposed to be vista capable and it clearly is not.

I spent way to much money on this system to have compliance issues at all
