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
