| Vista Home Premium 32-bit & Vista Ultimate 64-bit both Service Pack 2 W7 Pro RTM 7600 32 & 64 | Re: Need help with Geforce 7900 GS drivers Hi smackrill and welcome to the forums NVidia does support Vista Home Premium. You need to download the appropriate driver, either 32-bit or 64-bit (links given below). You should always roll back your graphics driver so that you are running on the one as supplied on the Vista DVD prior to installing a new driver, and you should install in an account with administrative privileges.

| Vista home Premium | Re: Need help with Geforce 7900 GS drivers I've downloaded the 32-bit driver. Whenever i start to instal it, it states that i'm not running a windows Vista 32-bit operating system. Or a 64-bit when i try the other one. Thats the issue i'm having. |

| Vista home Premium | Re: Need help with Geforce 7900 GS drivers Well i found the problem. I was trying to download drivers for a desktop when i need to get ones for a laptop. But according to the website i have the latest driver for my laptop..which brings me to another issue..AoC comes out with major graphic glitches..i can't even see the models of the characters let alone the enviornment or the mapping. Thoughts? |

| Vista Home Premium 32-bit & Vista Ultimate 64-bit both Service Pack 2 W7 Pro RTM 7600 32 & 64 | Re: Need help with Geforce 7900 GS drivers Hi smackrill, What is the make and model of your laptop? According to the NVidia website, you need to obtain the drivers from the manufacturer of your laptop. As for your other issue, some games and programs will not run on laptops (they actually say this on the box). If you post back with the information requested, I might be able to help. Some manufacturer's websites can be very tricky to navigate, especially when looking for specific drivers. Dwarf |
