Hi, I'm running Windows 7 RC on my Dell XPS M1210 and have been using the latest beta driver from nVidia.com (Forceware 179.48) for my Geforce 7400 Go. When I'm viewing videos in Windows Media Player, and I resize the window over a specific size, the video starts to tear and the video image starts to appear all over my screen.

Worse is, sometimes Windows would just enter a BSOD, complaining something about 'memory parity'. This problem would not appear on a fresh boot, only after an extended usage (perhaps after opening several memory hogging applications, and closing them!) I tried to do a windows update as a new driver was listed but got an error 80070006. I did a search on this error code and I found all the solutions asked everyone to download the drivers from nVidia instead. I had hope that windowsupdate could solve my problem as the date of the driver was dated newer than the one posted on nVidia. H ello Aimevous, First you might keep windows update regularly to obtain the latest driver for your device. Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers.

Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error. If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file - Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver.

In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! For more details, please l ook at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum. This will give you some guidelines. When there are no Win 7 specific drivers, you need to try the Vista drivers to get the devices to work. Have you updated your BIOS to A08?

Uninstall anything nVidia from uninstall programs. Then go to device manager and remove (uninstall)the video adapter. This should clean out any mixed drivers.

When Win 7 finds the hardware it should install a WDDM or WDDM 1.0 driver that will be stable. If your problem persists, then install the Dell driver for Vista from. Reboot. Then if you update the drivers by using Win 7 you should retain any specific programming that Dell puts in the video package for the card to operate in it's system. If not, then try the update from nVidia.

It should work correctly. You just need to find the best way to a clean install of drivers.

Some more thoughts- I have also found that when installing an OS on laptops, notebooks, etc. That you need to install many of the drivers from the manufacturer.

The drivers are modified from reference or generic to allow the specific hardware to have the interoperability as it was engineered. Vista drivers will work with Win 7. Have you entered F8 after BIOS post and run the memory diagnostic tool?

One pass is all you need. Have you confirmed the configuration in the BIOS for the hardware installed? Did you upgrade to Win 7 from Vista or perform a clean install?

Have you checked the driver version for all of your devices against the Vista updates available at Dell? Does the event viewer provide any clues as to the culprit of the issue? What is the video source when the problem occurs-dvd, streaming through an app, TV through a tuner, files from a drive? Does the problem only occur with the resize screen action?
