Windows not recognizing NVidia GeForce 8400M GT

Ah, my apologies. it is for an HP Pavilion dv9500 laptop. When I downloaded the driver, it gave me the same error that I saw at the beginning of the thread.

hey torrentg, could I get your help as well?

here's the info:
PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_0427&SUBSYS_30CF103C&REV_A1
PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_0427&SUBSYS_30CF103C
PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_0427&CC_030000
PCI/VEN_10DE&DEV_0427&CC_0300

Thanks so much! I don't understand any of this stuff :)

also, is there any way to tell what graphics card I have based on that info? I know it's an nvidia, but I don't know the exact name of the card and Windows 7 can't tell me.

Hi. You have an NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.

You can follow this to install the latest driver:

NVIDIA Driver - Convert from Desktop to Mobile (Laptop)

But first, you can try to download the driver from NVIDIA's site for laptops. This will be easier for you and may work. If it doesn't, follow my link.

Hi Torrentg! I have a similar problem but I have an Acer Aspire 4520G running on Win 7 ultimate 64 bit. My display adapter only shows standard VGA graphics...following your instructions, here is the info on my card:

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0428&SUBSYS_01211025&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0428&SUBSYS_01211025
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0428&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0428&CC_0300

I hope you can also create a custom install for my acer laptop just like for the Vaio users. Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It has been stated that Torrentg has left the forum. Could I just publicly thank him for all his support and help for so many of us out here. He was very patient with us and bore with all our mistakes and frustration! We salute you Torrentg. You will be missed!
