Hello i just installed Windows 7 RC. but now i have a problem my graphic card is not recognized . The weird thing is i hooked up my graphic card to my pc and monitor and that works . i tried to update the driver 186.18 that is windows 7 compatible but it says "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit." Also i got no other drivers installed. I hope i get a solution .

Thanks

Hello Vaatwassert, wilkommen.

I know the graphics card is compatible (my laptop has one) so that is not an issue. Go to the NVidia Website and download the latest driver and try to install that. If that is what you already did, then go into device manager and find the graphics card. Then right click and select Update driver.

could you check device manager ( type device manager at search) and see if there are any devices labeled "unknown". if not check under display drivers

Me trying to read your language is worse than you trying mine. The code 12 is explained here Code 12: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use
basically it meanstwo device are configured to use the same port, irq, or other resource. if you change one they both will work

if possible, remove the video card out of the computer and put it back in.

I have a feeling that it is not loading required motherboard / chipset drivers that will allow the OS to recognize PCI devices...hence it is not even seeing the graphics card for anything other than a standard VGA device....

Check to see if you can find updated (meaning 7 compatible / specific) drivers for your motherboard....

Any and all that you can find that will work in Vista / Windows 7.

Most likely it is chipset related, but I would see what ASUS has to offer in terms of updates - even look for BIOS updates as well....

I edited my post and added info while you were replying - read it again and you'll have a good idea.

However, as I also said, *all* that you can get from ASUS that apply to your motherboard.

Vaatwassert, can you see your Graphics card in Device Manager? It will be under Display Adapters.
