What I would like to know is why so many drivers available from venders now say "for vista and 7".

If there is no way I can get my card or chipset to work properly than what can I do if I don't force install it? Especially after windows update installs a video driver and now it doesn't work right. Should I use one of the free Technet Plus incidents on this? Again thanks for any assistance offered in solving this issue.īut Mark, The only thing though is windows 7 often rejects the hardware manufacturers video drivers which are more compatible than the 7 disk or windows update. Anyone have any ideas? If you require any further info please ask. Totally out of ideas of what else to try. Updated motherboard bios, reinstalled win7 same issue.
