    Hi I appreciate the help but when i install the driver it gave me an error

    "Setup detected that the operating system in use is not windows vista [32-bit]/7[64-bit]. this setup program and its associated drivers are designed to run only on windows vista [32-bit]/7[64-bit]. the installation will be terminated."

    I could use some help from those who is using OS7 Build 7000 64bit with Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT card

    thanks

    Then you might already have it. I don't know what version or anything, I've uninstalled windows 7 because vista actually runs really well on my machine, didn't see a need to use 7. I just remember after installing, I ran the update and one of the updates was labled nvidia 9400. Did you refresh you w.e. Score?
