    Nvidia 6600 GT "could not locate driver" vgasave


    I installed 7 last night and found out it would not detect my nvidia 6600GT card, even though it is fully supported by windows 7. Found a lot of people had the same problem but no one really had a solution.

    This problem occurs when Windows 7 boots up in VgaSave mode (1200px wide max resolution). And trying to install the nvidia driver it tells you "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"

    After tons of trial and error, downloading previous drivers, downloading edited inf files from NVIDIA & Laptop News | Latest NVIDIA drivers and related news | laptopvideo2go.com, I finally decided to flash my bios using a bootable USB stick.

    It worked, and windows update was able to download the correct driver, and I was later allowed to install the latest nvidia drivers.

    So if all else fails, go to your computer or motherboard manufacturer and download the latest BIOS update.

    Hope that helps..
