Vista and SLI problems

I've got Vista now, and I have two GF7800GT cards bridged for SLI. They work fine in XP, but in Vista I can't figure out how to link the cards together. Nowhere in the NVidia control panel can I find the option to enable SLI. Is it automatically enabled in Vista, or is there something I'm missing?

    The system should just recognize that you have 2 cards... what drivers are you using?

    I know SLI for the 8800 series is a no go, I wonder if that is the case for all SLI setups in Vista?

    It recognizes the two graphics cards, I just can't link them. I'm using the latest nforce drivers from NVidia for Vista x86

    Do you have the SLI bridge?

    Yep, and it's connected. SLI works no problem in XP, just can't get it to work in Vista. Don't know if I'm missing something, or not.

    (beta) sli support added to nvidia drivers for 8800 series, released today:

    Nothing mentioned about the 7800 series, though.

    I believe he's French. Go easy. :)

    SLI support under Vista does not work correctly. Not even on the beta SLI-'Capable' drivers.

    So, I'm gathering that NVidia just hasn't released SLI-capable drivers for Vista yet. I guess it's a matter of waiting, but hopefully they come out soon.
