i have a NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT and i want to update the drivers. i just want to make sure its done right and i get teh right one. on the nvidia site there are the three boxes to select the card and the windows version and all, im not sure what to select in the first box etc. if there is anyone here that as succesfully installed teh correct drivers for this video card, pleez tell me how you did it. thanx!

I don't think that card belongs to the Go 7 series so it's just a normal GeForce card and takes these drivers on XP/2K http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html

To check your card Start -> Run -> dxdiag -> Display.

Then tell us what card you've got as the guy above thinks you made a mistake.

For Win XP or 2000, use this link for the current drivers:

For Win XP Media Center, use this link for the current drivers:

This is an easy one.

Go to the Nvidia site. Select graphics driver. Select GeForce or TNT (you have a standard GeForce card). Select your operating system. Download the driver.

FYI: On a graphics card, it is the chipset that counts (Nvidia does not make video cards). Somebody other than Nvidia always makes the video card.
