Did you go to nvidias website to get the drivers? You should also be able to get the drivers from Windows Update.

Re: looking for nvidia driver for vista on toshiba a200 laptop

tried windows update.. it says that the best driver is already installed.. which is just a standard vga driver.. therefore not true..

i even installed service pack 1 and it didn't help at all.

and on the nvidia website.. i downloaded the geforce series 7 drivers and again.. when i install.. same message.. "not compatible with installed software.."

arg.. i don't know what else to try.


thanks anyway

I just looked up your laptop here: Toshiba Satellite A200 Laptop Computers and well, uhm, are you sure you've got an nvidia graphic card? The a200 series is listed as either an ATI or Intel video card.

Re: looking for nvidia driver for vista on toshiba a200 laptop

This has really got me scratching my head. Your model is A205-S5831, correct? If I go to Toshiba here: Toshiba Support - Content List it lists the driver as ATI. If I google A205-S5831 video I get a lot of references to Intel. Wow Toshiba is confusing! Officially for the Go 7300 series, drivers are supplied by the OEM and not nvidia.

Take a look here, maybe one of these will work for you. download from Guru3D.com

Re: looking for nvidia driver for vista on toshiba a200 laptop

well.. it seems to have done the trick..
i mean at least i was able to install it and fix the resolution a bit.
thanks for that.

to be more specific.. my laptop model is satellite a200-1al

but these drivers seems to have worked.
it's the first one i tried since my error .. that actually worked.
so thanks a million for that.
truly appreciated!
