Title: Video drivers
Post by: 53gunner on July 10, 2008, 08:46:22 AM

Howdy after downgrading from vista to xp I cant find any video drivers that work for my nvidia card. I remember reading somewhere in here there were some generic drivers out there, anyone have a link?
Oh yeah did the search couldnt find anything though.

video drivers should be on nvideas website or do a google search with your model and word drivers. You will find it.

From Nvidia's website

Quote

The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.

Looks like you're going to need to go your notebook's manufacturer to get the drivers and hope they have a XP version.

If it is a laptop, then you have no recourse but to get the drivers from the manufacturer.  If the manufacturer does not supply XP drivers, then you will have no choice but to go back to Vista.
