Error installing nVidia GeForce 7150M Display driver  

Hey there everyone. I was attempting to install the display driver when I received this error message from Windows Update: "WindowsUpdate_80070006" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

I searched Google and only found 7 results with no solutions. I attempted to get the drivers from the nVidia website and it informed me that I needed to get the drivers from my computer's manufacturer (HP)-so I went there. The only thing offered on my particular notebook's support page was an update for the Wireless Assistant.

Has anyone else encountered an error when installing nVidia drivers on their laptop or received that particular error from Windows Update?

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I, however, had to redefine the driver search since I'm running a 32-bit not 64-bit version of 7.

I've finished installing and everything is working fine. I haven't tried the update through Windows Update as it doesn't seem necessary since everything is fine.

Leave it to the master of drivers to find what you missed :)
NVIDIA DRIVERS 179.48 BETA

Hi there - I have exactly the same problem. When I try to install this driver on my Go 7150M equiped machine it tells me its a Vista driver and exits. Frustrating isn't the word.

Besides that, I'm assuming the driver is my issue. I had a "coprocessor" error which has gone away. When I look at display adaptors it tells me I have a "standard VGA Graphics Adaptor" with no reference to the NVIDIA chip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

Err...minor mishap on my part but...

THE MASTER OF DRIVERS WINS AGAIN!!!

All seriousness...I am glad it works

Haha you certainly know your stuff though since you led me to the area of the solution. Thank you.

Are you using x64 or x86?

How do I know?

I have Windows 7 Pro running 32-bit

I have used the 32-bit version - the message says this version is for Vista 32-bit - which is really frustrating given that it's the 7 beta!

What am I looking for with the Device Manager list to see what driver it has now? I don't see something obvious for NVIDIA as a display device

There's a "PCI System Management" and a "System Management Controller"

Cheers
