    Vaio VGN AR21S
    Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 GT
    chipset mobile Intel 945PM express
    CPU Intel core2 Duo T7200 2GH 2MB
    2MB DDRR2

    I Have a Sony Vaio VGN AR21S laptop, Working perfectly but will not detect integrated Nvidia graphics.
    Device manager only has standard VGA graphis adapter listed and Nvidia :confused: is not detected when I use the instal hardware option
    When I load the drivers for the Nvidia they appear to load and it says needs restart to finish.
    goes through bios and the stops, sitting with black screen nothing works and have to power off.
    Only way out is to boot from installation disk and do Windows repair, this (I think anyway) either removes the Nvidia and reinstalls the standard vga
    or allows the VGA to start
    I need to know if the integrated Graphics are knackered and if so, is it fixable or is it something else?
    Would appreciate any advice :confused:
