New video drivers don`t work on my Acer Aspire 5920g

Hi, I got a big problem. I have an Acer 5920g with Windows home Premium 32bit. The installed driver 101.19 works without any problems. But when I uninstall this driver and install for example the 163.44 driver (with correct inf) I get only a white screen with slowly appearing funky colered vertical lines when Vista starts.

I tried everything already, like fresh Install from Anytime Upgrade DVD where`s only a standard driver. But after installing a newer one I get the problem. I tried many 160 and 150 drivers. I`m really desperate. The strange thing is, that Windows XP works fine with 163.44 XP driver (at least the desktop). But I wanna use Vista. Can anyone help ?

By the way, I also bought the newest driver cleaner, no luck. Could it be a hardware issue ?

Have you downloaded the correct version of the drivers? (i.e. for the correct graphics processor in that laptop?)
