Problem with the Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX driver
Hey there,
I just made a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my Dell XPS M1710, everything works well except the video card.
I've been having some problem installing the driver for my video card (Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX), in the device manager it only shows "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".
When I install the driver for the video card and restart the PC it boots up and shows the Windows logo but before the "Welcome Screen" comes up everything turns to black and stays like that and I can't do anything and I have to do a hard shut down, and then I can't get back into windows or run it in "safe mode" I can only "start windows normally" (which doesn't work, just boots into black screen) or "start windows repair" and when I do that, the repair utility tells me to restore (system restore), and when I do that the computer uninstalls the video card driver and I'm back to "Standard VGA..."
I've tried over 4 different versions of the driver but still no luck. I have tried the one that came with Windows Update and I've tried some from the Nvidia web site
