Ok,

So I am running Vista Beta 2 on my iMac. I have not installed any graphics drivers, as the ones that came with Vista appear to work fine... until...

I booted up Half Life 2. It complains straight away about full screen mode, and then changes to an almost full screen window. Second, once loaded, it looks absolutely appalling. The text is all screwed and the overall picture is unplayable.

Do you think if I install my XP graphics drivers it will work? Perhaps there are newer drivers I should use. Apparently HL2 runs perfectly on Vista, so it's definitely my graphics drivers, rather than being a Vista problem.

Help would be appreciated.

PS: None of this 'Boot Camp/Vista are both betas' crap. Geesh :p
