Thanks for the info!!
Redalert, did you succeed in installing Windows 7 on your laptop with GeForce FX Go5200?
I will try a direct update Windows XP > Windows 7.
Of course Aero would be fine, but is Windows 7 working fine -at least without Aero- with this graphic card?
FX 5200 and FX Go5200 are not the same cards. The first one for desktops, the second one for laptops.
Yea Win7 runs fine no eye candy thou on laptop with fx go5200.. My desktop i have a 8800gtx of course i got the eye candy on that beast. Win 7 32bit pro, laptop works great, Win 7 64bit pro, on desktop works great.
Thanks for your answer!
How did you install Windows 7? From Windows XP or Windows Vista?
Because it seems that Windows 7 do not provide any driver for our graphic card, I suppose that your Windows 7 directly re-uses the driver installed on the previous OS. A Vista driver should be better.
My current GeForce FX Go5200 driver (on Windows XP) is version 6.14.10.6610. This should be the latest version, but probably 7 can't use this XP driver. Which version do you have?

I installed the upgrade from xp to 7 - 32bit pro. Actually I found the driver some where, but i cant remember where. Not sure if its a vista driver on laptop, i believe it is - date 12/19/06 version 7.15.10.9754. Sorry i'm not that much help with it. I would have posted the file, but i dumped it after install.
