I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 w/ Q6600 and 8G RAM, 8800GT and 8600GT vid cards, and I just did a fresh install of Vista and I have 3 problems, 2 w/ the 'old' stable 64 version and one w/ the beta:
BETA 3.0.4:
1)Seemingly at random after a reboot or after coming back from sleep, my left monitor (20"--30"--20"), gets scrambled, making it completely unusable. Sometimes is 'squashes' the screen, sometimes it's lines of rainbows 1-3 pixels wide that flash. Therefore, the BETA is not a viable option for me.
As I did the fresh install of Vista, I was installing one program, rebooting, and then moving onto the next one, so I have troubleshot this problem down to, specifically, Ultramon.
2.7.1.:
1)Having the same layout of monitors (20"---30"---20"), whenever I create a wallpaper (either 1 pic covering all 3 monitors or 1 pic per monitor), Ultramon seems to want to start everything in the middle of the 30" monitor, so that with the 1 pic for all 3 monitors, the left edge of the wallpaper begins in the very middle of my layout and 'wraps around' to the left monitor. IOW, it SHOULD be 2-1-3, but it's 1-3-2 (actually, more like 1.5-3-2-1, if that makes sense).
2)In the taskbars on monitors 2 and 3, the font is different compared to the original taskbar. I have no idea why, nor how to fix that.
Please help, thanks!

found that thread from a LONG time ago and it seems that this isn't a new issue.
That said, I've tried most all of those 'fixes' and none of them helped.
Definitely would like to use this....

You should use the 3.0 beta on Vista, 2.7.1 has several issues as you mentioned.
The issue with 3.0.4 sounds like a display driver issue, make sure you have installed the latest drivers. I'm using a similar system with 3.0.4 myself, and haven't had any display issues (64-bit Vista with 3 monitors and two Nvidia video cards).

I'm using 169.96 on my main system, but so far also haven't seen any problems with 182.46 when restarting the system or resuming from standby, this was on a 3-monitor test system, also with 64-bit Vista, video cards are two Nvidia Quadro NVS cards.

Ok, gonna give it another go.
Nvidia just released 182.50 earlier in the week and that's what I'm using.
Will report back. I really want this to work. Thanks, Christian.

The fatal error in WndExt.cpp at line 757 will be fixed in the next release, unfortunately there's no workaround for this.
