Hello chrisapytoes, Link Removed to Windows 7 Forums,

Try HERE to get the correct driver, use the Auto Detect.

With the limited info you've provided about your lappy, that's the closest I could find.

Once you download the correct driver and save to desktop, go in to "Device Manager" and uninstall the current driver for the nVidia card, you may have to restart, if so just close/cancel any attempt by Windows from installing the driver for that card and then install the one you downloaded.

Hope this helps
Don

Ok, just install the new driver, it should automatically replace/remove the old driver.

Let us know how that goes
