    i have just upgraded from vista 32 bit to windows 7 64bit everything is fine except the video driver, i tried to play a game and it said my graphic card was not good enough, i did the windows speed test and it rated my graphic card 1.0 which is the worst result possible, when i looked at the driver for the card it says "standard vga graphics adaptor" i went to nvidia and down loaded the latest driver but it wont install just says "nvidia could not find hardware found for selected driver this program will now shut down" it says the same if i download the vista 64bit one as well.

    any ideas? iv done a search and found some similar problems but no solution
