Hello! I'm using an older Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 on the machine where I'm running the Windows 10 preview. I've run into a driver issue. Now, I know this is an older card, not capable of running modern games with nice graphics. But I don't need to do that on this computer. I just need to be able to use windows. Here is what happens:

Windows 10 installs the generic Microsoft driver. That allows me to use windows, except that the resolution is very low and screen effects are choppy, just as you'd expect with a card before you installed the proper driver. Howevery, when I install the driver for the 5200 and restart, the computer looks great, with proper resolution and zero choppiness. You wouldn't even think there was a problem until you start running the metro-styled windows apps.

Apps like Edge/Spartan, the System Update, the Windows Store all use the new metro-style window rather than the standard window, like Internet Explorer. Any app with that funny window style will simply freeze. Other apps that run in normal windows run just fine. Now, I know the computer/video card can run the funny windows, because it does it on the generic microsoft driver. but it acts like it can't do it once it's using a proper nvidia driver.

Any suggestions for this card/driver issue are very much appreciated.
