Windows 7 driver help!

[Brian d marge]

The standard nVidia/ATI drivers should do the trick.

I use linux so i do not know windows ,,, I assume you can go to the Nvidia website and down load a standard driver

unless of course it is neither a nvidia or ati based card!.. there are more than 2 manufacturers out there!

ID the card first. then get drivers striaght from the manufacturer. TBH.. IF it was a nvidia or ati based card I would have thought win7 would have already done this for you (assuming the pc is connected to the internet in all)

as above. ID the card first. if it is a Nvidia based card then they have a unified driver which covers just about every card they make. Nice and easy.

I may be wrong here, but I "think" you still need to have the basic vga driver installed for that card before you can go ahead and install the chipset drivers (nvdia or ATI etc)

Standard vga will run almost any hardware as it is non accelerated and is installed by default.

if you can see an error message on the screen then its already running default drivers!

Ubuntu downloads the nVidia drivers automatically I think, but I know that nVidia cards definately are supported by Linux.

I can imagine someone going to the trouble of importing a 10 year old PCI card into the country. Every modern video card I have seen is either nVidia or ATI, and I'm not talking about onboard graphics here.
