    NVIDIA graphics driver not compatible with this version of Windows


    I have a Nvidia 9500 GT wich works fine in XP. I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. The correct driver for the card is 280.26 according to the Nvidia site. The card is compatible with Win 7. However, when I attempt too install the card, it says "NVIDIA graphics driver not compatible with this version of Windows". The Nvidia utility also detects an error when it tries to detect the card.

    I suspect there may be a chipset issue?

    Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

    You might want to check whether you downloaded the 64-bit version of the graphics driver instead of the 32-bit one. It's an easy mistake to make as I know only too well, having done it myself in the past.

    As for your chipset drivers, it won't hurt to get the latest ones for the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
