Quadro FX 2500m windows 7 drivers?

[4p]

I'm stuck

I've put windows 7 on the laptop and cannot get ANY drivers to work >_<

It's the Dell M90 btw.

I'm running Windows 7 on a Desktop with a low end Quadro PCie card and everything worked 'out of the box'. There is a Driver download on nVidia's site which is whql certified, specifically for Windows 7, I assume you've tried these?

Yep..

Looks like you may have Windows 7 64bit and are trying to use 32bit drivers?

It's a shot in the dark, but it's what the error suggests.

Tried 64 bit, said the same t hing.

No you don't, well at least not a current Nvidia one. A default Windows VGA compatable one will do. You alter the files before installing.
Just make sure you download the correct drivers for the type of Windows you have, 32 or 64 bit.

Define "hasn't done anything".

SUCCESS

modifed and installing

That would suggest that it did 'something'.

Well windows 7 hasn't detected my gpu and i can't change the resolution.

Try deleting the video card within Device Manager and then redetecting hardware. See what it finds.

I just asked Windows 7 to find and update my drivers.

And it did, quite the OS this. XP never did that

[ns400r]

Thorpy,

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 RC Support Forum. It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads there for further assistance with drivers.
