Default 7600 GO laptop

I just bought a custom laptop from Cyber power. I am very happy with my purchase, however I m having a lot of trouble getting the latest drivers for my video card. i went to nvidia's website, and I downloaded the driver, but when i try to install, it says that it can't find any compatible hardware. Is there anywhere else that I can get a driver from? Thanks for your help!

The 7600GO uses custom drivers and therefore nVidia's standard drivers will not work. Windows Update should be able to find them if you're using Vista but if not try CyberPower.


If neither of those find them check out this website. They hack the latest Forceware drivers to run on laptops.

I know it's old, but it was really cheap and I can still game on it without much problem. I already have a very high powered desktop, so I just got a cheaper laotop to game on while I use my desktop to run a server

Fair enough . Did you have any luck with the drivers?

I clicked on the link you gave me to get the driver, but it keeps saying that the server has timed out and I can't get to the webpage. Not sure what to do now... I'm trying to get the URL in there otherwise to see if it'll work by typing the source URL.

Whenever I open one of the driver packages, it goes right to the nvidia screen and it always comes up saying that it can't find any compatible hardware for this driver. any suggestions?

For XP 32bit,

Go here:

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia...ries/16909.exe

And then here:

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/infs/1...9/nv4_disp.inf

Run the extractor and place the files in the folder. Now replace Nv4_disp.inf with the one you just downloaded, and click setup. Should work fine.

If you need a Vista driver, they have those as well.

The first link that you gave me gave me a 404 forbidden error. Not sure what to do now... i just had a blue screen of death and had to reinstall everything, but the driver that came with my compy doesn't work... I have no idea what to do right now. I'm trying to find a driver to at least get me by, but I can't find one...
