hello
i wanted to install vista on my notebook to try it out
since the notebook is quite new, i didn't assume any problems (:lol:)
when i installed vista it gave me horrible video settings and i think 800x600 resolution (btw, video card is geforce go 7900 gtx, 512MB and can hold a resolution of 1600x1080), which i thought was very weird because when i installed vista on my home computer (which has much older hardware, i.e. video card: geforce 6600) it immediately gave me the correct settings
i thought, maybe it's the drivers. but when i tried to install drivers from laptopvideo2go.com, the installation wizard told me he didn't found any hardware to match for the drivers
also, when doing the "performance check" where your computer gets rated according to the lowest component, i see that the "slowest" part is my graphics card with score 1.0 (while all the other components get scores from 4.5 to 5)
is there anybody who knows what i'm doing wrong, 'cause it's almost certainly my fault, i just dunno what...
thanks in advance
nevermind, i'm stupid - i got it working
thx for your help
