Run the right .exe for it in C:\NVIDIA somewhere. You can tell which it is by its name.

i downloaded a windows 7 package from a different model that supports this OS... installed NvCplSetup and it now says "setup failed to read the required Display Driver to be used with this package. Setup will not continue"

That's almost surely because you didn't install the driver itself correctly yet.

Ok I did a little more digging on this. I found another old XP driver that was made with HD support for older cards and does have your card on the products supported list. Hard to say if it will work with Windows 7, it might give you the option to install in compatablity mode.

ForceWare Windows XP/2000 32-bit

or perhaps these posted by Torrentg awhile back.
ForceWare Windows XP/2000 32-bit

Also these have HD support and have been used successfully with Windows 7 and your card.

yup you're right... first link didn't let me install it because of outdated OS...

downloading 2nd and 3rd link... (DSL speed)

EDIT: sorry wait... maybe it will work if i choose Service pack 3... give me a minute on that..

Torrent and Chev: Thank you!!!! Finally worked! the doubted XP driver worked when I ran in XP SP3 compatibility mode. Screen is super clear now! Appreciate it... PC is 6 years old and still runs like a champ!

Cheers!!!

Nice work Gipfeli, glad you got it working. Was it the third link?
