Half-life 2 nightmare (Vista)

[V-Spec]

Argh,

Just installed Vista beta2, everything fine apart from when I run half-life 2 I get awful graphical tearing and artifacts,, tried 3 different drivers, changing the settings etc, obviously not that..
Google revealed it is a know problem but couldn't find a fix, does anyone on here have any idea what it could be??

most unhelpful post ever.

have you tried using the compatability wizard on differant settings?
the only thing i can see it being is dodgy drivers. Get some vista drivers for your card (ati/nvidia have vista ones available) and use driver cleaner to delete the old ones.

I've tried the official main nvidia drivers from the nvidia site for vista, and some beta ones from 3dchipset.com and I get the same problem all the time..
Card is a 7800GTX, might have to go back to XP..
