Hi Everyone,
Has anyone successfully installed Windows 7 on a Dell Lattitude D800 with a Nvidia Geforce4 4200 card? Install of Windows 7 works fine with the standard VGA drivers but whenever I try and install the XP 4200 drivers from the Dell website, it causes these two things:
Does anyone have any suggestions or is it quite simply a case of incompatible hardware with 7? Although the standard 7 drivers would be fine for what I want to do (nothing particularly graphics intensive) they wont allow me to choose a widescreen resolution.
Any suggestions / advice appreciated!
Matt
System Specs:
Dell Lattitude D800

- The windows logo on the boot splash screen is not displayed correctly
- Approx 10 seconds after login, the system completely hangs with no response from keyboard / mouse.
