Software I just downloaded nvidia for games and it says my drivers are not compatible.I am running windowsxp.Please advice

What graphics card do you have ? (Model). According to that specific laptop specs it is fitted with a Intel graphics adapter and not nvidia so the nvidia drivers will state that there is no supported device found because there is a Intel on-board adapter. I don't think nfs Rivals will work with that on-board Intel graphics adapter sorry.

A quick check to the nvidia web page (www.nvidia.com) revealed that there are no drivers for this hardware under Win 7. While you could try to install the Windows Vista drivers, I would recommend replacing this card with something more modern. There are many entry-level cards in the under $50 range, (best for casual use or low resolutions) and you can do a bit better in the $75-100 range. Try www.newegg.com or Fry's electronics, avoid Best Buy or Staples, etc.
Feel free to post back if you want specific advice, and describe what game or software you use to help w/ a recommendation.
Please take a moment to rate my solution if I have helped you out.
Thanks and good luck!

This is all I can find for you, hope it helps. I do not see reference to it at Nvidia's site:
http://download.cnet.com/NVIDIA-GeForce2-MX-100-200/3000-2108_4-70257.html

They will work with Windows 7 Professional or higher due to a built in "compatibility mode"

All you need to do is... upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. Right Click on the setup icon for the game. Go to properties. Look for compatibility mode. Run it in windows XP mode

And there ya go :)

It sounds like you are downloading the wrong driver.
You don't mention whether you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.
RIght click on "Computer" on the Start Menu and select properties to find out.
Then go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us , download and install the latest driver. Restart the computer to complete the installation.

If this helps please vote for my solution.

i would suggest updating your windows to sp3...

now, you can install any geforce (nvidia) driver as long as it is compatible with your video card, you need to check what model and manufacturer of your video card is, then check if manufacturer have specific drivers first, if not then go to this site, select your video card and operating system from the list, download, unfold and run.

alternatively, nvidia provides as well automatic driver detection, it is on this same page, but it is making errors from time to time...

if you find my advice helpfull, please do not hesitate to leave comment and vote 4 for me, thanx!

Hi,
One of the biggest problems that plagued the Windows operating system in the past was the installation of a software ‘driver’ that was not compatible with the version of Windows that was being used. So, install the compatible drivers for the given device that supports your operating system. To download the drivers please click on the below link or copy the URL and paste it in your web browser. Select the operating system and download the driver..
