SuperKungFu Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 What is the best/latest graphics driver that’s compatible with my 256 mb nvidia Geforce GO 7900 GS for my e1705 laptop? I know some of the drivers on the nvidia site are meant for desktop graphics card so not necessary laptop cards. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
G3 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 superkungfu, here is a post i made sometimeback about the same kind of thing, hopefully this will help you, see the link at the end and read up. was getting frustrated the other day as i tried to update my aging geforce 440 go graphics card drivers for my laptop (toshiba satellite 1955-801) the original recovery cd's only came with a vanilla version of xp and the driver version was way back in the 29.xx it seemed that the only driver not installed automatically by XP_sp2 was the driver for this videocard/chip gf 440 go. so after attempting to install the latest 84.20 forceware i was met with a message along the lines of: "this driver is incompatible with your hardware", which in turn was met by my blank expression of disbelief as my driver upgrade failed. lets cut to the chase: i went looking for why, and found a great site that explained it all and provided the solution i was after. it seems that its just a matter of overwriting the drivers original inf with a modified one, which then gives the driver permission to install due to the extra information in the modified inf. if your system is working fine then i guess you would be reluctant to update the driver for no reason, its more for people who are having some gaming issues etc due to outdated drivers. check out the link and if you need help go to the drivers page and read the FAQ. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ use at ones own risk as always....
