I am looking for a driver that will rune on my laptop. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop. Here are the specs:
Name: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Chip Type: Nvidia
DAC type: 8-bit
Main driver: vga
The Nvidia website has given some problems. I can't find what driver i need to download for my system. It keeps telling me that I don't have the correct windows OS to run the installer... Any help?
Take a look at this:

I have also tried those nvidia drivers. Every time I try to run the installer an error shows up telling me that I am not running a version Windows Vista 32/Windows 7 64. So, I am still not quite sure what I am doing wrong.
Idk if this is pertinent or not: I had a new hard drive installed yesterday and then installed XP using the disk that came with my laptop. My laptop came with a drivers disk, but I did not run it. I just upgraded to Windows 7 as soon as I could... So if this helps at all...
your laptop may have the ati mobility card or the gforce go series , i am not to clued up on the subsys id thing a member with more experience will give a more exact answer to the card you have ,but either way i dont think you will be able to run aero
I just ran the installer again, and recieved a different error along with the one i usually recieve:
"You are running a 32 bit verson of Nvidia uninstaller on a 64 bit system
(binary type I386)
Wrong version of uninstaller. Uninstaller exits now."
^ this is the newer error (for clarification)
you may have downloaded the 32bit drivers try the 64bit drivers from the same source ,it is the gforce go series driver you require
are you installing in compatibility mode ? it is a rather old laptop you are using
