Guest Duffcore Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have an alienware 5550 running bios 2.06 with 2.0GHz Core2Duo win7 64bit and it had a Nvidia go7600 that went bad. So I purchased a 8600M GS 512mb card on ebay and it would shut down when windows started to load. So I did a freshinstall of win7 64bit and problem gone. Laptop stays on and works great with Standard VGA Driver. Everytime I try toload the Nvidia driver it says "Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers compatable with this device. I tried every 64bit driver I could find. I also tried the modded inf drivers to no avail. When I try to force the driver it tells me file not found. Has anyone got any ideas?

jtrot1000 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 have you tried just going into the driver settings and having Windows Update automatically search for compatible drivers? otherwise, try delete the entry for the Standard VGA adapter, then search for hardware changes and see if Windows installs the correct driver. if all else fails, download the latest driver here from laptopvideo2go and replace the .inf with a modded .inf. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facey Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) try using an actual 8600gs driver like acers 5920g driver http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/service.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=17&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1g.c2att92=122&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=2980211862 Edited June 5, 2010 by facey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsoworried Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Were you able to get this resolved? I just upgraded from 6600 to 8600m gt and windows 7 will not update the driver. I have even uninstalled the standard vga in hopes that windows would recognize and install a correct driver and still no luck. The cd that came doesnt work on 64bit so I am at a standstill. Any information you could supply would be awesome. I also went back to BIOS v2.06w. Still no joy with catching a break. Aloha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest duffysco@charter.net Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I did get this resolved and I had to keep trying different drivers. There is no win7 driver so when you try most drivers it will say "Operating System Not Found". Keep looking and run in compatability mode. The driver that I got to work was dated 1/20/08 and version 7.15.11.6762 run in compatability mode and works perfectly. I play Call of Duty MW2 and Battlefield Bad Company2 both are video demanding games and play smooth as silk. Good Luck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
