    I wanted to ask a question.
    I tried to install windows 7 on my acer aspire 5935G. It install perfectly, detecting almost all of my hardware.
    Problem come, acer aspire 5935G has hybrid graphic(Intel GMA and Nvidia GeForce GT 130M). It detect my Intel GMA perfectly but when I tried to install Nvidia driver from acer site, it causes my laptop to freeze/hang.
    After forced restart(using power button), now it can detect my Nvidia.

    Why installing it causes my laptop to freeze/hang?

    Sorry for my bad english. Thx.

    Probably because switchable graphics are still a fiddly business. Easier under 7 than Vista, but still causing issues.
    Try getting the official Acer drivers from their download page.
