Hello Neowin :)

Let me introduce my self before continuing.

My display name is Loveheart, or you may just call me David.

I am a Windows Fan, going from 3.1.

I am also a Windows Beta Tester, testing Windows Vista. (not much, i know.)

I hated the little children who bagged windows Vista, as it was/is a great operating system.

BUT.

Recently, my friend has come back from the PDC and got the portable hard drive with Windows 7 Beta 6801 on it.

I tryed installing it, with these specs allowed on it.

Nvidia 512mb Graphics RAM (Nvidia on-board & Chipset)

Realtek ALC888S

Nvidia nForce Networking Controller

Pro-Nets WLAN PCI card, WP61R/WP61R2

Pro- Nets modem card (PCI) HPI56M3

Nvidia MediaShield RAID

Hauppauge, WinTV-HVR1200

50gb Disk Space (shrinked from another disk)

3gb Ram.

It wont let me install any of these drivers.

It wont.

It JUST wont.

Could someone please tell me if these ARE able to be installed on Windows 7? Nvidia shows that It cant find the card, etc.

Thanks,

David.

(If this is in the wrong section, can a mod move it.)

(Please dont flame :( )

What I did was just ran windows update and it did the job for me.. I had the same issues with installing the drivers once i installed windows 7, but once I ran the update, everything was back to normal.. So if this doesnt work, try checking the nVidia site for the drivers for Vista. should work then..

Good luck!

Oo thanks for the heads up :)

I will try this tonight ;)

Ok. I installed it. Everything is working like a dream. BUT.

My graphics card drivers are not being recognised, because apparently i dont have a graphics card driver in my computer. I updated the drivers and all, compatabilty mode let it install, but it still didnt make my reso higher and in the nVidia control panel there was no graphics card listed.

PLEASE HELP :(

Thanks,

David.

I have Win 7 6956.winmain.081122-1150 installed as a VMware VM.

It is really sluggish. The mouse pointer takes like a second or two to react.

Really not very useable at this point. I'm trying to determine why it's so

slow? Any ideas? I have 1 Gig of ram assigned through VMware. I will try

2 Gigs next.

Also, I tried installing the Vista 32 driver for my Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT but I get an

error saying:

"The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your

current hardware. Setup will now exit." Ideas on this?

I got my drivers working.

Use windows update.

@ rayj00

If you get a black screen and can move your mouse (doesnt have wait cursor)

then press F8 when booting up, go to VGA Mode, when that boots up, login, and change your reso, and voila! :D

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
