I just installed Vista for my E1705 Dell Inspiron which has a 7900 Nvidia Graphics card and 256 MB, however after I installed Vista, there are some games which cannot work and the main one being Counter strike Condition zero and when I try playing it just says
"The Specified video mode is not supported. The game will now run in software mode."
I'd really like to play CS:CZ and I believe there's a driver or some sort of update I can get for Nvidia and users with Vista.
Can anyone direct me to what I need or where I need to go to get the update for my graphics card. Thanks.

You can download NVIDIA Forceware for 32-bit/64-bit Vista at
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=32
Click on a version to see what GeForce series it supports. For example, Forceware Vista 100.65 WHQL 32-bit supports GeForce 6/7/8 series GPUs. -
Thanks for all the help so far, but how can I find out what type of Vista I have. I need to know if my system is
Windows Vista 32-bit
or
Windows Vista 64-bit
EDIT** I've tried installing some of these files, but when I try to install it, the file says "The Nvidia Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"
Please help, I'd really like to update this. -
To check vista 32/64-bit version:
Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System
Look for "Sytem type:". If you have 32-bit vista, you will see "32-bit Operating System". Make sure you install correct Forceware for the type (32 or 64-bit) of vista you have. -
I keep getting this when I try downloading these files..

Could someone please help me get this download. There's all these vista downloads which seem the same, but I just want to know exactly what download I should be using. A lot of these aren't working for me. -
It seems like those Forceware are not compatible with GeForce Go series. If you have 32-bit Vista, try this:
