This is probably a simple question, but I'm not finding the answer >_>;

Go 7800/7900 drivers are listed, but I can't just use the 7 series...are they not available for download from nvidia? Just got a new laptop; trying to get the latest drivers...
 
You can't use them because nvidia doesn't include the "Go" series in their regular releases (lame).

You can either download whatever drivers you want and then modify the .inf file to include your card (and then they will install fine) or just download pre-modified drivers:

http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers (be sure to download the modified .inf as well!)

(nvidia's rationale is that you should get the drivers from your laptop manufacturer - but they don't have time to edit the nv4....inf for every single driver release....)

1. Click on the driver version (ex: 91.33) to download the drivers.

2. Once finished, double-click the .exe file and extract all drivers (default location is your desktop). A folder will appear with the name of the version of the driver (ex: 91 33). The installation process will not start yet (you don't want it to anyway).

3. Still on the LaptopVideo2Go website, right click the .INF and hit "Save Link As...". Put it somewhere.

4. Now, take that .INF file, and drag it into the extracted drivers folder. Overwrite when prompted.

5. Now you will be able to install the drivers (you needed to replace the .INF file to do that).

6. Open the extracted drivers folder.

7. Double-click Setup.exe, follow the instructions.
