    The driver for my GeForce 7800 Go graphics card that I am currently using on my Sager NP5720 is nearly 3 years old now (version 84.63). When I go to Nvidia's website, it is unable to automatically detect my driver. But when I enter the card information in manually, it takes me to these drivers, which you will note do not support the NP5720 (I tried downloading them, they would not install, stating it couldn't find compatible hardware). The driver on Sager's website is even more out of date. Does anyone know of a way I can get a more up-to-date driver?

    I am running Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)

    I have the same videocard.... I am using 17x.xx drivers.

    go to here:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showforum=93

    choose the driver that is for "XP 32-bit | CLEVO"

    then you should be good.

    make sure to fully uninstall/remove the previous driver before installing the new one.
