Hey all.
Just installed Win 7 Ultimate 32bit on my laptop.
(has a dual boot of WinXP Pro that works fine)

Everything seems to work except my video cards.
I have dual 8800m gtx's in sli

i've tried several drivers from laptopvideo2go.com
after the restart device manager says this for both cards:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

But the dates on the drivers is updated so I'm not sure what I can do.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I think that you're right, they do seem to be waiting on nVidia. In fact, if you have access to 64-bit Windows 7 (I do through my school), the 195 beta drivers work for the 8800M, though SLI is still disabled (only one of my GPUs is properly used), and the temperatures tend to be a little high.

It's really a pain in the ass that we just have to sit on our hands and wait for nVidia to release something that works for us, but I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing what we need soon.

Same exact issue. Same laptop and video cards. Can some times get both started, but when you enable SLI, it will BSOD quickly and then you lose a card again "Code 43". Has been working flawlessly under Windows 7 64-bit.
