    The Philips name is used on notebooks by DSG (PC World / Dixons / Currys) and has nothing to do with the big electronics company. You will find support on the PC World website. The driver you want is there.

    PS: There are a few other threads about the X57. Type "Philips X57£ in the search box at the right end of the forum header.

    You will also be able to find drivers for your graphics card on laptopvideo2go's website
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

    Just match up the operating system, and check to see if that driver supports your card.
    When you click "version", the window changes, and you will see a new page.
    In that page, if you scroll down, you will see a chart which says:
    "Original INF only supports:"
    You have to physically find a driver which has the go7400 listed in this chart.

    Then download driver, install them, and you are good to go.

    Here, I have saved you some time, here is a video driver which will work in your laptop: (156.10)

    Here is another link: (for newer driver - 156.55)
