    I have a hp pavillion 6660 se (dv6500) which I recently downgraded (read: upgraded) back to Windows XP. After a lot of screwing around with drivers for the past day I almost have everything correct except for the video card. I have a geforce go 7150 card. Whenever I run the Nvidia auto-install it creates an error and states " cannot locate any drivers compatible with your hardware." When I try to do a manual install I can't find 7150 in the list of devices. I can only find geforce go (integrated). There are about 10 of those but they all state the same device. I can tell it isn't working correct since my windows are all choppy as well as my internet scrolling. Any workarounds or manual installs known? :confused:
