    If you go to NVidia's download page, there is a category called.... "Geforce Go 7 Series"... Do you think that might apply to a Geforce Go 7600? ;)

    Laptops are picky, my advise is not to unless you are having problems. Then only the ones the mfg release.

    One of the better places to go for Nvidia laptop drivers is laptopvideo2go.

    The drivers found on Nvidia's driver page only work for desktop cards so laptopvideo2go is probably the best place if you want updated notebook drivers.

    You would be wrong on that count. If you bothered to dig deeper, you would see that those drivers only support GeForce Go 78xx and 79xx cards. Laptopvideo2go is the place for 7600 support.
