Hi Holly - I'm looking on the nvidia site and I think I came up with a different driver than you? Here's the one I found: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-307.83-whql-driver.html It says the size of this is 103MB, whereas you said the size of yours was 148.55. I'm not sure why there would be a discrepancy. Mine says it supports the "7300SE and 7200GS", which is exactly what you said your report shows. Did you maybe select the WinXP 64bit drivers? I'm pretty sure you have WinXP 32bit. You can tell by right-clicking My Computer and looking at the computer properties tab. If it's 64 bit it will say 64 bit.
Anyway, when you get the correct drivers go ahead and uninstall the nvidia thing from add/remove programs, and be sure to uninstall (remove) the nvidia drivers from device manager, and then double click the driver file you downloaded and follow their instructions. Hopefully that'll do it. Good luck, Donk On 4/14/2013 6:31 PM, Holly wrote: > Yes, I just looked and it says it supports the 7300 GS.
