Windows 7 Win 7 wont recognize video card

[Antracith]

Hi!
I have a new acer laptop (aspire 7738G) with a Nvidia GT 130m video card with 1 GB dedicated mem.
Now, I have just installed win 7 on this laptop and since acer is kinda slow they have not yet released any working drivers for win 7.

When I look in device manager and display adapter it says: Standard VGA graphics adapter and when I look at the driver, it is a windows driver form 2006 that is installed. When I try to install the latest nvidia drivers manually, windows just says: "the best best driver software for your device is already installed" NO IT IS NOT!
I have tried to unistall this freaking driver and install the one from nvidia but it will just not work.

Please help me!

It seems like you are facing difficulties with installing the correct Nvidia drivers for your Acer Aspire 7738G laptop with a Nvidia GT 130m video card on Windows 7.
