Sonny, on a whim today I decided to try your solution again. I had extracted all the NVIDIA files as suggested by Reg, and I thought maybe a combination of the two might work. I uninstalled the generic driver, and rebooted the computer. When it restarted, it automatically found the 8600 GS...

In order to get the computer to boot back up, I have to boot with the last known good config. Right now, it's showing the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

Reg, I tried that file and my system doesn't like it. I didn't realize the first one was the 64 bit version, so I found the 32 bit version and it doesn't like it either. Here are the driver versions I've found and tried so far, with the same results as detailed before: 195.62 181.71 I tried...

I have an Nvidia 8600M GS video card in my laptop. I am very aware of the issues that this card has, but don't believe what I am experiencing is that problem. I installed Win7 - 32 bit (Ver 6.1.7600 build 7600) on my laptop, brand new install on a brand new HD. The install goes just fine, and...
