yeah its the Nvidia GeForce 7000M/nForce610M, i went to the compaq
website and downloaded the driver i saw there for the display adaptor
for this laptop, still the same issue..i saw on here that a womans
fiance had the same sort of problem with her computer/game..i didnt want
to download that because her card was a different number to mine, does
that matter?

Yo, find out what graphics card u have in ur laptop, forget nforce, don't worry about that


you say Nvidia 7000, so I am assuming you have the 7 series, which is anything starting with a
7xxx

goto www.nvidia.com

click download drivers, leave the top box, in series choose 7 series, in OS choose what windows
u have and if its 64 bit. Language u must choose. If you live in UK, choose UK, NOT US!!

search and download, run it, allow security warnings, then u will probably need to reboot, do
that, and u shud be good to go.

hope that helps
