I still am not able to see the nv_disp.inf file, even after showing hidden folders.

No, I've updated the BIOS with the update provided on HP's page for my laptop model.

I'm still not seeing it. Do you think it is there under a different name? Perhaps abbreviated or something?

I am not seeing an nv_disp.inf file anywhere inside of the C:\NVIDIA folder. What does that mean?

Could you show me how to use the device manager to install from the .inf? I wasn't able to get the first route to work, but I will attempt it a second time while I wait to hear back from you.

I wasn't able to do anything after waiting, and the older driver from HP also just hangs after the starting windows screen. One time though I did get a blue screen with the HP drivers, does anything look out of place in the minidump?

After trying to install that driver you posted while in safe mode my computer just went to a black screen after the 'Starting Windows' stuff, where it would normally put the cursor on the screen and display the login screen. What does this mean?

Okay, I spoke too soon. I am still having problems after restarting my computer. It bluescreened, so I booted into safe mode and removed the nvidea display drivers and then it boots just fine. Could there still be some kind of a driver conflict even after updating them all? I have attached...

Okay after getting those two drivers up and running, flashing the bios, and then attempting to install the recommended HP drivers for my card, things seem to be working again. If I get another bluescreen, I will post the minidump in this thread for you guys to look at. (How can I view those...

Okay guys. I lied. Things were working, but then during the course of playing a game I got a bluescreen. There are two drivers available from my HP laptop's product page that are for vista 64 bit, I tried to reinstall the ones that I got to work to no avail, and then I tried to install the older...

I think this worked! I installed the drivers under the 'vista' compatibility mode, and I was able to boot into windows, and log into my desktop. You guys are great!

There are no available windows 7 drivers from HP. I tried running the vista 64 one but it come up with an error that I wasn't running vista 64, and then halted. Should I try running it in a compatibility mode for vista? (I have Vista, service pack 1, and service pack 2 available to choose from)...

I have an HP Pavillion dv9700, and it has an nvidea GeForce 8600M card, 4 gigs of ram, and an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.1Ghz. This is a fresh install of windows 7 professional x64, I did a format and everything. If this is not enough information about my setup please let me know, and I will post more...
