Hello
I recently bought a new laptop and after checking SL's website prior to buying it made sure SL would work on it.
When today I first tried to launch SL I got an error saying either it's not supported by SL or the drivers aren't up to date. I just did the normal microsoft update through window's so I hope they are the latest drivers..
This is the card: 256MB nVidia® GeForce™ Go 7300 TurboCache graphics card NVIDIA®
All other applications/game work perfectly apart from when I tried to launch SL today.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

microsoft drivers suck royal ass, and theres a good chance ms "upgraded" your computer with windows update |

Getting an error saying it can't find my current driver when I try to download from Nividia's site directly.

You do know the Go 7300 uses system ram as well as a small amount of on board ram?

I am thinking the 94.24 update is crap.

Did you try the notebook manufacturer’s website? I know for example HP notebooks provide their own updates for the graphics cards they put in their machines.
