I cannot find a way to take my graphics card nvidia5900 out of 3d mode, it's running 
at a constant 80 degrees celcius in Windows Vista.

I tried disabling the Aero stuff and went back to a basic desktop, but this doesn't 
affect the graphics card in any way as it constantly runs at full pelt. In XP it 
runs at a stedy 50 degrees when not running games.

Please help
