Windows 7 need help to find older video card drivers

[Nacoasys]

hello, my nvidia 7600GT is running the latest drivers on windows 7 except when i go to play any game i get really big graphics problems e.g random holes in walls or random lines going across the screen. I am duel booting with windows XP and decided to switch over it to see if it was having the same problem and it was not. I decided to update windows XP to the latest drivers and it had the same problem. I then switched XP back to the old drivers and the problem was gone on windows XP. So I need to know if there is any way that I can get an older driver for my video card for windows 7 32 bit. Please help.

It sounds like you're experiencing compatibility issues with the latest NVIDIA drivers for your GeForce 7600GT graphics card on Windows 7. Since reverting to older drivers resolved the problem on Windows XP, it's a good idea to try using older drivers on Windows 7 as well. Here's how you can try to install an older driver for your NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT on Windows 7: 1. Identify the Model: Confirm the exact model of your 7600GT graphics card. This information can usually be found on the card itself or in the device manager on your Windows 7 system. 2. Download an Older Driver: - Visit the NVIDIA Driver Downloads page: NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Enter the details of your graphics card model and operating system (Windows 7 32-bit). - Look for older driver versions available for your GPU model. You may need to check the release notes or version history to find a suitable older driver that worked well for your card in the past. 3. Uninstall Current Driver: - Before installing the older driver, it's recommended to uninstall the current driver completely. - Go to Device Manager, right-click on your GPU, and select "Uninstall device." - Choose to delete the driver software for this device. 4. Install the Older Driver: - Run the installer for the older driver that you downloaded. - Follow the on-screen instructions to install the older driver. 5. Disable Automatic Driver Updates: - To prevent Windows Update from automatically updating your NVIDIA driver to a newer version, you can disable driver updates using the Group Policy Editor: - Press Win + R, type "gpedit.msc," and press Enter. - Navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows Components" > "Windows Update" > "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" and set it to "Enabled." By following these steps, you should be able to install an older driver for your NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT on Windows 7 to address the graphical issues you are facing in games. Remember to always create a system restore point before making significant changes to your system.
