[Robiduff]

I have a Dell laptop with the geforce go 7900 gs graphic card, but I cant find any drivers that works with it. help? I also have windows 7, 64 bit

Did you try the 7000 series laptop drivers on the Nvidia site?

Try this one if you haven't already. GeForce Release 179


There is also this one which is allot newer but it may not support your 7900

GeForce Release 185

I have tried Both, but the last one did not work because I have the 64 bit version. Is there a drive for the 64 bit version?

How is that even related to what he asked for?


To the OP. It's not hard to search for drivers on nvidia's website.

GeForce Release 179

Because the program that is in the link that I posted might find the drivers that the chap asked for .

Vista drivers should work on Windows 7, did you try to install it with Vista Compatibility mode?

You can try this one too, it's the latest Windows 7 driver, it does not specify your card but it may be worth a try.

GeForce Release 185

i've tried the link and the program, I don't know much about computers but, i tried updating, but the program did not find any updates.

Try the drivers above but once downloaded right-click the exe file and in the compatability tab choose Vista and then click ok. Now try running the file and it should install (thinking that you are running Vista).

It should work as the architecture (kernel) for Seven is the same as Vista

ah! the geforce 179 worked, thanks everyone=)
