I've got an HP Pavilion 2945SE with a Nvidia Geforce 7150m/Nforce 630m video card. And I was wondering if theres XP drivers available for this computer, or more up to date Vista drivers?

I've got a 2845se with the 7150/630m card/chipset with Vista x64; and was wondering about drivers. It's got the v7.15.11.5671 from 10/07 on the site (uploaded 4/08).

I've tried a variety of different drivers available here and have yet to find one that raises my Graphics Index above 2.6 (recently, because I remember seeing it at 3.0 at once point...) The v178.13 Tweaked was the best I've seen so far, but I haven't installed too many.

Any ideas from anyone with more experience with this chipset? I only use it when I travel, but I'd like it to perform as well as it can.

HP Dv5t have 9600M GT

I also have a CQ50 109CA You have to go to the Hp site and download your drivers there nothing from the Nvidia site will be compatible. My laptop is currently at HP repair getting a new MotherBoard installed Be vary wary of the temp of your machine it seems the video card doent like the heat I have read many sites by googling the message heat seems to be a common issue . I started receiving error messages via blue screen IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO I tried to update driver and was frustrated as you. Eventually it wouldnt reboot Im still waiting for HP to return it. Luckily it was under warranty

Good Luck John ...

See posts from a year or so ago, but the HP Pavilion DF871AVR comes with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 5600 in it (Still very troublesome), 17" TFT.

If this post is incorrectly placed, I'd happily delete it.

Staples Office supply has been offering a Compaq Presario CQ60-210US for $399.00 here in the U.S.

It appears that these are selling out very quickly at this price. This laptop has Vista Home Premium

installed. Most who have bought this unit would prefer to downgrade to XP Professional as soon,

as possible. It appears that there have been twenty or so posts on the HP/Compaq support forum in the last

week or so, asking for advice on obtaining XP drivers for the Nvidia 8200M G, so as to install XP properly.

No helpful information has been posted there so far...

I have tried the obvious drivers made available on the Nvidia Site.

These will not install properly, usually ending with a statement to the effect that no appropriate hardware was

detected by the installer.

Here are the specifications of this unit:
