| | Geforce go 7400 sony vaio problem Hi Guys, Just installed windows 7 home premium edition over XP as a clean install. Now my nvidia ge force go 7400 has disappeard and reverted back to the VGA card. I've tried finding the appropriate windows 7 driver from nvidia but the website says it doesn't support sony vaios, and how would i install the driver anyway if the card cannot be found? Need help? Thanks in advance Last edited by skunksmash; 11-16-2009 at 12:39 PM.. |

| | Thanks, did what you said and the nvidia driver has succesfully installed over the VGA, however windows then detected a problem and crashed. It reported that the video card doesn't support the required version of DirectX and this version of Windows requires a video card that supports DirectX 9.0 or newer. I thought my card did support that already though? |

| | When you say crash, do you mean a BSOD?? If so, navigate to c:/windows/minidump, zip up the .dmp file and attach it to your next post for analysis..... |

Some could possibly be malware. |

| | Those files are definitely left over from an upgrade... not a clean install... follow torrentgs' advice ... if that doesnt work, use a third party app to completely wipe your drive and then reinstall windows 7... |

| | Cheers i'll have a go, so just to clarify in this case i would need to download the nvidia geforce 7 driver for windows 7 not the geforce go 7 for notebooks? Also how do i remove the above files from my system? Sorry for all the questions! |
