old skool laptop gfx help

[phatboy]

hi all

so i have an old porrtege s100 tosh laptop i have stuck w8 on and it quite frankly runs a treat with 2gb ram and an ssd in it

inly thing i am struggling with is getting the nvidia go 6200TE card drivers to work

has anyone ever tried and succeeded getting a drivrrer to work under 8 for this card?

i am not expecting anything amazing over the basic.gfx win driver...but video acceleration would be nice if i got it working

any help greatfully received

I tried something similar very recently for an old desktop of the father-in-laws and could not for the life of me find any drivers anywhere. All the links I found were dead.

bad times....i found one that installed and gave me nv panel but it just eefused to use driver....problem with hardware or something but it runs screen fine on base driver

it might be worth a punt at trying the Vista/7 drivers if you can find those.

 

[phatboy]

yeah that was next plan....should 8 humour those?

 

[~Dockie]

They 'should' work, it might need to be run in compatibility mode though.

just went through a random download session of drivers and one just worked....brilliant

i have heard of people of having it wipe itself after a reboot but this rebooted just fine and driver is all up and running

will post up the driver version in the morning in case anyone else is in same boat
