    Hey guys, i've been looking around this forum alot and havent really found an answer to my question.

    I'm trying to find the best driver for my graphics card, GeForce 7600, that still supports all of the functions of my computer (specifically the fn keys) and works well in sync with Vista 32-bit. *see sig for system specs*

    Thanks in advance!

    best drivers are always trial and error, they maybe good for one thing and bad for another, good for one system, bad for another system. the lates 8x series driver should be alright.

    I using 101.41 (beta?) that i downloaded from nvidia's website and it seems to work pretty well. It adds a section called tv in the nvidia control panel. Since you have a FE i would stay away from 100.65, it wouldn't allow me to change the screen brightness.

    I'm sorry but I have no idea what that means, I got no errors when I used it . I would roll back your driver and just try another or Google the errors and see if its something you can fix.
