Geforce Go 7900 GTX drivers Options

[Khellendro]

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or knows how to solve this problem. On my laptop, its an Alienware mALX, but I don't have the image they gave me I installed a fresh new OS vista 32bit so I can get updated drivers. So any drivers from alienware won't work. Right now I have driver 176.68 installed. And Burnout Paradise was crashing on load and coming back with a video driver issue. I went to look for new drivers and it leads me to Quadro NVS Release 179 for Notebooks, Version: 179.48, Release Date: February 11, 2009.

And the problem is when I go to the install it says the display adapters are incompatible and are going to be disabled. It goes through the install and it restarts and in device manager the display adapters no longer read NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GTX but now NVIDIA Quadro NVS 510M. I rolled back the driver to 176.68 and it changed back tot he way it was. Is there a reason for this, and is there a fix or work around I can do to get updated drivers?

Thanks in advance.

I have a Toshiba Satellite with a GeForce Go 7900 GTX and I have the same issue. I have looked all over and can't find anything on how to work around this issue. I even read in the release notes that this card is supported...

Some help please Nvidia people.....

Hello,

if something strange with your notebook - who you gone call? GPU - Ghostbusters !

I have made a patch for the latest notebook driver from NVIDIA 186.03. Now this great amazing speed driver is running on my DELL notebook without any failure since more than a month.

If you want this driver patch too, you have to provide some informations from your notebooks windows registry.

Open the registry editor with the following command "Start->Search->regedit". Select the following key "VEN_10DE&DEV_..." and the first subkey "4&..." below that key and give me the content of the value "HardwareID".

With that information I will be able to generate a driver patch for your notebook.

Best regards

Hello. I just tried the beta driver, 179.48, for XP and got the same result that the opener did. The display adapter in the management console changed names. I don't know how it effected performance, I just rolled back to before I did the install. I just bought this video card since I don't get to upgrade computers very often, and now I'd like to get Windows 7, but if NVidia isn't even going to support it anymore I may try and get a refund and use the money I spent on the card to build a tower.

Any help that can be provided is much appreciated.
