in the end and after 4 or 5 hours of constant fighting i gave in and re-installed Vista , which is something i dont like doing , install is fine its setting everything back up again
at the moment i`m using the standard drivers that Vista downloads from MS 7.14 i`m to scared to try 15 as i doubt it will help much
forceware and you name it i have tried , for now i`l live with it , at least i can boot and eventually get VMCE working , all be it in an unorthadox fasion
damn Nvidia for not dringing out a proper set of drivers that arnt beta and fully work as they should

I am surprised that System Restore wouldn't roll back the driver changes (although I never use it).
True Image would have solved it no problem, 10 minutes after installing the troublesome driver you would have been back up and running in Vista bliss once more. Before I install any driver updates or even MS updates (other than Bit Defender updates), I take an image and then go from there. The 5 mins it takes to create a True Image is nothing in comparison to the headache if something breaks.
Hence, your 4 or 5 hours of constant fighting would have meant more time down the pub.
