    Hi i have a problem with my Geforce Nvidia 7400 Go. When i try to play a game on a resolution like 800*600, 1024*768 i have noticed some problems that earlier i didnt have. I have problems on movement during the games, movement stucks not the game(pes6, call of juarez , stalker).When i put the resolution 1440*900 all works fine, but i cant run in this resolution all games because it slows. Is this because my screen is wide?(17''). I dont know if this is an incompatibility of updates of sp2 but before i didnt have any of these problems. My drivers details are 83.20 (15/12/2005) and i have installed latest directx. I have tried to upgrade to the newest that has hphttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=1844666&lang=en
    but my system failed.Bios version is F22.Should i Flash my bios to f.23?Is this my fault?

    P.S.:Sorry for bad english

    Try using the newest NVIDIA drivers:

    This site specializes in making the regular desktop drivers work on laptops. That driver version you have is REALLY old and should be upgraded.

    Thanx for quick reply. My problem is that the only working drivers for nvidia is 83.20. I have tried 3-4 different drivers for 7400 but my system failed. Also i have tried the hp recommended drivers but the same and i wonder if it is a fault of bios.
