Vostro 1500 need updated drivers to run windows 7
I have the vostro 1500 laptop. I ran the compatibility tool for windows 7 because i would like to upgrade to windows 7 when it comes out in final, and it states i need an updated driver for my nvidia geforce 8400M GS. The latest one i have is dated 7/27/2007 and that is the one on dell's website now. Why has not dell issued an update driver for this? and where can i find one?
I also need the updated drivers for the Ricoh Memory Sticv host controller, mmc host controller and x-dpicture card controller- mine are dated 11/29/06. There is something on dells website for a richoh dated in 2007 but i do not know if it consists of all this or not.
Any clues where i can get these too?
Everything else on this laptop is compatible with windows 7
thanks
robin

Why don't you just go to www.nvidia.com
and download the latest WIndows 7 drivers straight from the manufacture

Dell should post driver updates for Windows 7 at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&osl=EN&catid=-1&impid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=VOS_N_1500&hidos=WLH&hidlang=en&TabIndex=
It annoys me that I don't receive any help from Dell after I purchase one of their laptops. This is actually the same reason why two of my friends decided to go with a different company and not Dell.

windows 7 is made out of window vista code base...so you can install windows vista 32 bit drivers of nvidia gforce 8400gm/gs for windows 7 ...
it will solve your issue...good luck
