Drivers for my dv9205us laptop? Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 drivers needed most!

[jobesjo]

I feel like I've been on a wild goose chase looking for these drivers. I looked through HP's drivers and my laptop's are now "retired". Is there any way I can get these? I've read that these drivers don't even exist for Win 7, but I'm not sure how true that is. If that's the case, I might be able to move vista drivers manually or run the installation in compatibility mode.

Does anyone know where to find these?!?!??

Greatly appreciate it in advance to anyone who has anything to offer.

Hi:

Yes, you can manually install the Vista graphics driver, and it will work just fine...

Here's how...

Download and run this driver.  You will most likely get an unsupported operating system error.

This package contains the NIVDIA VGA display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce Go Graphics in the supported notebook models and operating systems.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35501-36000/sp35686.exe

Close out of any error windows.

Then go to the device manager and click on the Video Controller needing the driver (it may also be listed under the Display Adapters device manager category as a Standard VGA Adapter).

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.

That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp35686.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

Then restart the PC.

Wow, I didn't even have to do it manually, the driver itself got the job done on its own.

Thanks a bunch!

You're very welcome.

I'm surprised.

Any other drivers you need?

[jobesjo]

No, thanks again though.

I'm gonna be setting up another laptop, so I might be back!
