    because when i try to (following the update guide in gaming section forum) i downloaded the stock nvidia ones which were newer but it says none of the drivers support my hardware i guess they dont support this one? then when i tried downloading the latest one from laptops2go or whatever it installs but basically is unstable and gives lots of errors so i had to go back to the default ones the pc comes with just wondring if anyone has updated and which drivers they used :X

    I think he knows that he can get the drivers from HP but he wanted to know if anyone had any success in updating to NVIDIA drivers. I haven't had the need to update, seeing as mine works as well as (or better than) expected.
    BTW, if the original poster is a "she", then my apologies.

    So nobody else has tried installing the latest nVidia drivers for their Go 7200? All you should need is a driver package with a modified .inf file so that is will support your Go 7200. You can get a package like that from laptopvideo2go.

    well, why don't you be the first and try it out? I just ordered the dv2000t last week, and it is not going to get here until end of next week. Core 2 Duo is on high demand I guess.

    For sure, I will be running Vista RC1 on that...so surely, I will have lots of fun trying out the latest driver from nVidia.

    Cheers

    Nvidia doesn't provide drivers for the 7 series laptop cards - the manufacturers do (Not true for the 78 / 7900). The latest graphics drivers for your laptop will always come from hp support.

    Kobax, laptopvideo2go says otherwise.. and I can see myself trying the latest driver from them because I will try to run Vista on the laptop whenever it gets here.

    HP doesn't create graphics drivers. All HP or Dell or any of the others do is take nVidia released drivers and modify and package them to support your mobile graphics card. The problem is they don't usually use the newer drivers because they prefer the older more mature drivers.
