Win 7 & GeForce Go 6200

Bump for suggestions!

What he said was - he installed the driver eg in a temp folder.
Then went to device manager
Click 'update driver' on VGA/Graphic device >
Then pointed the 'new driver' search to the (temp) folder where the (unzipped) new driver exists and it loaded automatically.

Sometimes you have to over_ride that and force install the driver (although there could be multiple drivers under exactly the same name for different brands/models).

That's what I've been doing but with no success...

Well, in my posts, I stated that I have the Go 6200. I put it in my system specs, now.

Anyway, this is what I tried again just now. I downloaded the latest nVidia drivers, used the Mobility Modder (browsed to look for the original file, hit "Modify" with all the default settings), and then I did all the steps suggested by thefabe. I still get the same error, stating that "The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows."

NVIDIA DRIVERS 196.21 WHQL Here's what I think the problem is. When on Nvida's site and you select geforce>6 series> Under supported products it does not list the Go 6200.Lets try this go to device manager>click on display adpater>properties>details tab>drop down menu>select hardware id> Copy and Paste the hardware id string. And their is another 3rd party app that migh have the driver for you. Fabe

Yeah, but I thought that everyone else with the Go 6200 was getting this to work, since this thread is the Go 6200 on Win 7. Also, it was my understanding that the Mobility Modder would add the line in the .inf file that would add the Go 6200 to the list for the drivers. Anyway, I will do what you suggested and report back.

This driver - 195.81 - has your card listed so should work with the modified inf. There is a link in my sig on how to use the driver and inf, but any questions post back here.

Thanks, that worked! I think the problem I had was that with the newer nVidia driver, it wasn't meant to support non-mobile GPUs so even though I used the Mobility Modder utility to add the line in the INF file, it still wouldn't take. This one worked like a charm, though. Thanks again!
