    Windows 7 does not recognise the graphics card

    Hi,

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad with an Nvidia 9100M GeForce graphics card, and have two operating systems: Windows Vista and Windows 7 RC. The graphics card works fine in Windows Vista, but my computer does not detect it in Windows 7. I do not think this is a hardware problem as the graphics card is still recognized when I boot into Windows Vista. Does anyone else have this problem and is there any solution?

    Windows 7 RC seems to have adopted a more conservative approach to drivers and use a driver supplied by Microsoft in favor of a vendor supplied driver. You must obtain a card specific driver updates recommended by Windows, click the card in Device Manager and update the driver, or download the drivers from nvidia.com.

    Try removing all video drivers on your computer and reboot. Do not allow Windows to load a driver , use the driver CD that came with the video card. Drivers must be in x:\drivers\win9x on the CD. If you have onboard video make sure it is disabled in the bios, see the motherboard manual if you don't no.

    I think, the current configuration of Win 7 has adopted Vista drivers. If Lenovo has released a 7-Win driver need to know the exact model: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si.../homeLenovo.do. Everyone said there will probably be little difference in performance. Run - DXDIAG – Display - do all the tests pass?
