    Hi, first forgive me my bad english. I have this type of a problem. I installed Windows 7 on my Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-FS215M (Intel Pentium m740, NVIDIA Geforce Go 6200 ) and i cant get any picture on my Samsung lcd tv. Originaly was Windows xp on my laptop and then i managed to resolve this problem by getting some info from forums. Im using vga cable, because theres no HDMI on this laptop. Now when i got Win 7 i have to install Nvidia drivers from sony homepage. and these drivers are for win xp, becouse theres no drivers for this videocard on win 7. I have tried not original drivers as well and still nothing. Please help anyone :(

    i tried, it says:

    NVIDIA installer cannot continue.
    this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

    i belive its becouse this nvidia graphics card is old and its not compatible with windows 7 ? everything is working when i use not original driver or i use driver made for windows xp, only no way to get picture to tv

    did you try xp drivers - unpack and add device manually by device manager?
