Geforce Go 7400 driver issues.

[Mr Gimp]

I've just done a fresh Windows 7 x64 install on a Sony VGN-SZ4XWN laptop, and I cannot for the life of me find a graphics driver that will work with it!

It's using an nVidia Geforce Go 7400 GPU, so I've downloaded the latest driver from the nVidia website only for the system to give me an error stating that no compatible drivers are available and the installation is terminating?

The only option I have is the Standard VGA Adaptor driver that Windows installs, and even running Widows Update reveals nothing more. I'm starting to climb the walls with this, so if anyone has any ideas they'd be much appreciated!

I have a Go 7400 in my laptop running W7 64bit Ultimate, I used the drivers from the following site

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

I had tried a driver from there already and it gave me the same error, and I have just tried installing the driver you linked and it has done the same again

I'm really stumped on this one!

Think you need to use the tools on the site to create a new .inf file for the drivers, prior to installing.... Extract the drivers, replace the .inf with the new one, then install.

Im in work at the moment so can't access the site, so you will have to read through the site yourself to find instructions, unless someone else here cares to join in?

Basically, the latest drivers don't have the details required for your card, the site lets you create an new INF with your card details in to allow the drivers to install.

I've just sorted it

I had tried modifying an inf already but the installation wasn't going through as it was being detected as a Vista driver. I've just restored the machine to this morning before I attempted installing, and modified the Windows 7 one you linked ad it's all working peachy

Thanks for the help Tweak

No problem, knew you'd get it sorted
