[Area51m-7700]

got a quick question.......i have vista built 6000, and notice that the drivers for the 6800 go(laptop) are 96.86....the thing is, no OPEN GL....which means no Prey.......is there a way for me to enabling Open Gl without having to go through the trouble of trying to install a lower driver??? :glare:

My Inspiron 8600 with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 isn't happy with this driver somehow. The install seemed to go well and it asked me to restart when it was done ... but when I go to the Control Panel I am unable to go to the "NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager." I get a message about known compatibility issues and when I say Run Program... nothing seems to happen. Are there any experts who can help? Any Inspiron owners out there w/ Vista who have gotten this to work?

What I'm trying to do is install the NVIDIA drivers for vista so I can turn on the rotation for my new rotating Dell 2007WFP monitor. Thanks everybody!

I'd like to confirm that this version works on the "nVidia Quadro FX GO 700" chip (Dell Precision M60). I used nVidia's official installer, but your INF worked perfectly. Thanks buckets! Any suggestions on where to go next? i.e. Are there better versions available, or any good tweaks I should know about?

As a (weak) benchmark, I ran nVidia's Gothic Chapel demo. Here are the speeds I get with the camera at the opening position:

11fps - 640x480x32, Direct3D HAL
16fps - 640x480x32, Direct3D T&L HAL
13fps - 1280x720x32, Direct3D T&L HAL
9fps - 1920x1200x32, Direct3D T&L HAL

Wow, that last one is very surprising. Under XP, UT2004 ran at *half* the speed of my old GeForce 4200.

Can I nominate this for the "thread most unexpectedly raised from the dead" award?

Yes you can

[wrecked_em]

I'm curious .. which thread did you *most* expect to see raised from the dead?

[mobilenvidia]

The 96.xx drivers were an odd bunch that came out with Beta releases of Vista and rarely had Control panels.
Good to see the olser drivers are still being used

I was having a lot of trouble getting my nVidia GeForce FX 5600 working in a Sony Viao laptop after upgrading to Windows 7. I'm glad I discovered this forum. I'm in good shape now.

It's why we are here.

I have a nVidia Quadro FX GO 700" chip in my Dell Precision M60. The laptop is on a full dock station and I can not seem to get multiple monitors to work properly using Windows 7 Pro 32bit. The control panel sees the all three display devices, Laptop and two external montiors, but will not enable video output to the second external monitor.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
