[Guest rdbjbush]

Have a compaq R300 laptop with amd athlon 64 bit cpu.

Video card is integrated nvidia geforce4 420 go 32 meg

Need drivers for this to work in vista 64.

Have tried many drivers and modified inf video card now says it is a geforce 4 420 but there is a yellow exclaimation point in it.

Any help would be apprecited.

If resolved am willing to pay 10 dollars to a pay pal account

well i dunno about the whole 10 dollars thing, but...

- right click on Computer,

- Manage

- yes to UAC

- Device Manger

- right click on gfx card

- update driver software

- browse

- let me pick from list

- un-tick show compatible hardware

- browse to NVIDIA manufacturer

- find ur card on the left hand side

this worked for me with my Go5200, using drivers that came with vista. perhaps there are some included with Vista that will work for you?

Read FAQ instructions to see if you tried many drivers correctly.

AFAIK the GF 4 doesn't specifically work in Vista... too old.

I say if it gets fixed the $10 goes to the site :)

Edit - found a fix someone posted elsewhere :P

SOLUTION: Download WinXP 84.25. Extract to desktop. Right click on setup.exe and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab and check Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Now run setup.exe and it should install smoothly. You can also try newer WinXP drivers.
