    W7 pro + Nvdia 8600 GT.. worked on RC.. nothing now


    I had the RC running since it came out and everything worked perfectly. Now that I installed the offical Professional version I can not get W7 to detect my Nvidia 8600M GT graphics card. When I bring up dxdiag it says Standard VGA Graphics Adapter, it does detect that it is a NVIDIA but not the apporx memor or monitor (which it used too). When I go to install the driver from the Nvidia website (where I got the driver for the RC, which worked) now says "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"

    Floods7, "Welcome to the Seven Forums,"
    Have you attempted to download the latest drivers from the Nvidia Web Site. The latest is 191.07. If not give that a try, and if it doesn't work please post back here for help.

    And, Please when you get a chance fill in your System Specs so if you need help in the future those who will try to help will be able to see your specs and have a better chance in addressing any problems you may have. Thank You, Lee :)

    Sorry, didn't realize you are using a laptop until I looked up your graphics card.

    Have you looked through the Tutorial Section here on the Forums. There might be something there that can help. At the present I am at a lost as to why this would work. :)
