New Graphics Card

[GodPigeon]

Ok My friend Just gave me his old Graphics Card.

Its a NVidia GeForce 7300 GS But he didnt give me a CD. So i went to www.nvidia.com and i downloaded the Drivers for it.

 

When i get Here I Choose [Graphics Driver>Geforce 7 Series>Windows XP/2000] Everything installs Perfectly and i restart. But then when i got to [Control Panel>Display>Settings] I get this Msg. And there wasnt any change in any of the games i played.

 

 

 

This is my first time ever messing with Graphics cards so i really dont know what to do next. Any help??

What version of Windows are you running, and is the card a retail NvIdia or a 3rd party?

That's wierd. Did you try going with a previous driver revision? Nothing to say that they didn't screw something up in the latest. I can't run the latest Catalysts for instance, they cause my computer to crash spontaneously.

not yet, but i will give the 6 series driver a try

Ok i DL'd it and it ends up being the same file. asks me if i would like to Replace ___ File with ___ File.

I just downloaded Like Three more different Files and i get the same thing every time. What should i do??

Did you uninstall and remove all your old graphics drivers?

[GodPigeon]

No, My other Graphics card is an Integrated ATi RADEON XPRESS 200. So should i still uninstall them???

Not necessary. See if you can download older drivers from this page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html

 

It would appear, by default, that page isn't available. Trying 6 series drivers won't get you anywhere with a 7 series card, and besides, they use the same package.

OMG ive tried just about every one that supports my card and i get the same msg.
