    Hey,

    This topic title has probably been asked to death but its something that's been bothering me for a long time. I taken another shot at installing Windows 7 to my laptop and once again the graphics drivers have let me down. At first i installed the drivers I use for Xp and these worked fine, except for when i close the lid weird things start happening mainly the keyboard freezes. Windows Update suggested i download an updated version of my nvidia driver, so i stupidly trusted it and after the installation failed only my external monitor will display anything...so back to the same situation i was last year when i tried to install Windows 7 for the first time.

    To make a long story short, is there any drivers available that are compatible with the Go 7900 GS. I have dual cards but I dont ever use the second so as long as i get one working ill be happy.

    Thanks for any help,

    Mike

    Go to laptopvideo2go.com. Download the latest drivers and put in the modded .ini from there, as well. Put it in. It works.
