    Hi guys!
    I just installed windows 7 x64 and thought that everything was going to go smoothly from here. But none of the drivers that fallowed on the cd works, says
    Os you are using are not supported.

    What is that all about? everything worked fine on vista so I thought it would with seven aswell. Downloaded the latest Nvidia laptopvideo2go windows 7 190.15 driver but it failed. Says it´s not compatible with my hardware? Did I choose the wrong one?

    So here I am sitting with a resolution of 800x600 with nothing working at all. What should I do ? Thanks

    oh and how would I get my 1 TB external harddrive to work with eSATA cables. I thought VISTA had the function that you didn´t have to worry about manual installation of the eSATA drivers(and therfor w7). But maybe it´s different for extern harddrives.

    Sorry if this has been posted before I havent been here lately.
    Thanks again guys. bye

    Browse the CD and install each of the drivers separately. Worked for me... also, download the video card driver from nvidia.com; and pick windows 7 64 bit AND gtx 200 series mobile.

    aha thank you^^ very kind
    One more thought. How come the drivers from nvidia2go won´t work and the ones from nvidia.com will? I know they are modified and all but I filtered it with w7 and there it was.

    Also I have the M860TU with nvidia 9800m GT shouldn´t I choose the 9M series (notebooks) at nvidia.com? and their drivers are a lot bigger : /

    Does any of the drivers work from nvidia2go with w7 ? or do I have to wait?

    i am running build 7100 RC.
    i downloaded the nvidia notebook drivers from nvidia's site and they seem to run fine.

    as far as i can tell, everything else was autodetected. the fingerprint reader came with a windows update and the camera just worked in live messenger.

    all in all, a great experience.
