I had Windows 7 64 bits and it was everything fine, but I have some programs that require drivers, and there isn't a driver for 64 bits. So I tried installing the Windows 7 32 bits version.Everything was working fine, until I found out that my video card isn't being recognized anymore, and it's being showed as "Standard VGA Adaptor". I searched and found out some people with the same problem. Most people advised them to update drivers, but that didn't work with me.The following error ocurrs when I try running the stup.exe which should update my video card's driver: "The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."The thing is, I tried unistalling the "Standard VGA Adaptor" driver, but it requeires me to reboot, and when it reboots the drivers are automaically reinstalled. I also tried reinstalling Windows 7 32 bits, didn't work. Tried reinstalling Windows 7 64 bits, didn't work.
I know there are several threads but they are with different cards and they didn't solve my issue...
I bought a new MEDION AKOYA P5334E and the system arrived installed normally with Windows 7 home edition.
I've installed on the computer the Windows 7 enterprise edition (x64) and many drivers could not be find. I've installed nost of them, except the display adapter. It's stuck on "standard vga graphic adapter". I have the AMD Radeon HD7570 card but no matter what I try is not working! tried to uninstall the current driver, tried to download the driver from the AMD website (when executing it - it's running but does nothing). when executed the auto detect from AMD website, I got the message "we were unable to find your product or OS"
I just installed Windows 7 RC1 32-bit OS onto my laptop. Without thinking i needed any drivers, i went to play World of Warcraft. It told me that it could not locate a display device and wouldn't work. I figured i needed to install my grpahics card drivers for my Nvidia 9 series card. When i went to install the drivers, an error message appeared saying that it could not locate drivers compatible with my device.
I went to dxdiag and under display it shows that i have a standard vga adapter and won't recognize my actual graphics card. I'm not sure if i'm missing drivers, i haven't installed anything else except for this attempt at installing the nvidia driver.
Just done a clean install of windows 7 on my Sony VPN-SZ5VWN and it has installed all drivers apart from the display.It has a nVidia Go 7400 however when I try to install it it just states there is no nividia products. If I try to uninstall the VGA driver, it asks me to restart and then, before I can do anything, it reinstalls the standard VGA adapter driver. I do get a solution saying to download the driver however this does not work.The original drivers are for Vista and Sony provides no other supported OS for them.
I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64x. Previously, I had 32-bit Vista Ultimate.
I have a Dell Precision M90, with 4 gigs of ram, a 2.00 GHz core duo processor, and a Nvidia Quadro FX 2500M video card.
In the device manager, my display adapter shows as Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I'm decent with computers, so I've upgraded video card drivers before. However, for some reason it is not allowing me to upgrade this driver. I have tried with both a 2500M driver as well as a 7900GTX driver (which worked for me in Vista).
I have also tried uninstalling the driver first, but it won't let me install another one before restarting and when I restart it just reinstalls the Standard VGA Graphics adapter.
i have been looking through my system info i noticed that my Standard VGA adapter (the pre installed one that comes wit Win 7) has no VRAM, plz help i cant play any games i need 64mb of VRAM. I tried getting Nvidia display adapters but I cant install my working graphic driver, just the ones my comp cant support.
I put Windows 7 on my friends computer since he wanted me to, so I installed it. But there was one problem. His resolution is stuck at 640x480. It said he is running from a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. His computer is fairly old, but all of the hardware is pretty good except for the video card. I brought him my old 7700 GTS for him to use for the time being, but I cannot install the drivers for it, and the computer still says he is running Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.
I have an Acer Aspire 8930G. It's GFx card died a year or so ago, and I just bought a new one, a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT DDR3 MXM II, from eBay.When my laptop worked, it had Vista installed. So naturally I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate. Now windows 7 has been installed, all updates been installed. All but one. the nVidia driver.I can't seem to install it. I have searched the net for solutions. Found some, but couldn't go on.Fx. tried to add some lines in the drivers .inf files. Put a line with my hardwares ID, but my hardware lacked some digits. I'm stuck with standard VGA graphics adapter.

What happens if I disable "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" under display adapters? I'm trying to install the driver for my Radeon 6950 to get it working. I tried once and on startup all I got was a black screen after it said "Windows is Starting." I booted in safe mode and uninstalled the driver. I realized I hadn't installed my mobo drivers so I did that. On some online forums it said I should be looking for "Intel Integrated graphics" and disable it then install my graphics card driver. But all I see is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." My monitor is hooked to my graphics card through an AVG to DVI connector. I'm running an intel i5-2500k on an ASRock p67 Extreme4
I recently bought a HP 630 laptop and installed W7 X32. I need to update my Standard VGA Graphic adapter because the version I have is 6.1.7600. 16385 while driver scanner tells me the latest version is 9. 17. 10. 2867. My resolution is very poor.
OK as Ive been looking around the site Ive noticed that there are many issues like this one, and Im sure there are plenty of people out there that have this problem.
My "Windows Experience Index" is at a 1.0 only because my Graphics, and Gaming Graphics rating are at 1.0. Everything else is at 5.9 which I can live with.
When I look at my adavanced settings for my monitor it Shows my Nvidia GPU but only running with 14 MB total avail mem. And I know that NOT right. Unfortunatly when I went to Nvidia's site and ran the auto detect it said that I didnt even have their product and that I had the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.
I can't seem to find the right drivers for this to fix it all, and I would love to be able to "Experience" Windows 7 at its fullest. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully the attached photos will give you an idea as to what Im working with. Also When i toubleshoot Aero Ive received this message:
"The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver."
And when I try to change my screensaver to a 3D one it states that I either need a newer graphics card or one that is compatible with Direct3D.
I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64 bits My motherboard has an onboard graphics card that works just fine. I installed an old PCI graphics card in order to use more monitors (TNT2 Riva by NVidia). The card is so old that it doesn't have a driver for Windows 7 64bits (it seems that it works in 32 bits)As a result Windows 7 uses a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" as the driver, the monitor and card works but it wont let me go above 1024x780, is there any way to force a higher resolution in this driver? Both my monitor and card can support it?
sony vaio as above.. in device manager my radeon is showing as standard VGA, I tried to download the drivers from radeon using the AMD automatic driver installer it found the radeon but could not instal the driver, so I went to sony site for the driver I can download it but when I try to open it all I get is an error saying "compressed zip folder invalid".
heres my laptop spec if it helps

I have Dell Latitude E6410 with PC Card Bus, StLab USB 3.0 PCIe card connected with StLab PC CardBus/PCIe adapter. OS is Windows 7. USB 3.0 card do not want to work (system do not find it - no USB 3.0 controller). Other PC Ie cards (modem ...) work with this adapter and USB 3.0 card works in other notebooks with PC Ie bus (without adapter). Is it possible that the card and adapter (from the same producer) are not compatible?
I recently updated my windows vista to windows 7. But for some strange reason windows 7 wont recognise my graphic card. The graphic card I have is NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT,, and I have tried to install the drivers from NVIDIA website but it wont let me install.. it says "NVIDIA Installer cannot continue" and at the bottom is says "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". When I go on Windows Experience Index.. everything seems to be fine except graphics and gaming graphics:
I just had to return my previous windows vista adapter because linksys did not have any drivers for windows 7. What is a good wireless card/adapter that will work with windows 7?
my Netgear wireless card won't work. It won't work if I have more than 2 GBs of RAM. Which is stupid. I've already looked everywhere and the only answer I could get out of Netgear was "Sorry but we're working on an update". Screw them.Anyway, I'm looking to buy another one because I hate running a 30 ft ethernet cable through the house so I can get internet. I really don't want to get bummed again so if you guys have an recommendations that would work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit WITH 16 GBs OF RAM (lol)
When you first boot from a Windows 7 installation DVD, the first thing you see is a black screen with the words "Windows is loading Files" and a progress bar.The next screen is black with the words "Starting Windows" with the usual Coalescing Squares.Then you get the Blue Splash Screen - Language - Time - Country.During the above processes, is everything being loaded and run from RAM, or is the HDD involved at all?
I have windows 7 pro - I have several very expensive programs and important files, and uncountable hours of setups.I can't risk doing it over. I really need to start logging all software installations everything - registry additions/changes - directory & file additions/changes - etc.If something breaks, I need information to repair with (not withstanding I can do a backup and restore, maybe). I used to have a nifty little program that did this nicely for me in win 98 but I don't remember it's name or where I can get it today if I could remember it's name it was a very small program - I can't program myself anymore cause of the injuries - I get confused. Also, I noticed the registry in win 7 appears different than in win XP, which is a complication I hadn't expected.I could be all wet, but I understand that windows logs the information but also deletes the information. Likewise, I understand that temporary directories contain the information - but I do not know how to save it before windows deletes it, if that is the case. I know a lot about older windows but not the latest releases.Think I may be doing something wrong, looking in the wrong place or not doing something I should be doing before the install? (I was injured in 1969 and again during my graduate year in engineering, and I became a bit slow.)I would like to use windows own software to accomplish this simple but seemingly monumental task. Maybe windows administrative programs would be of help but I don't know where to look for the right stuff. When windows becomes slow, gets buggy after an install, it's a bummer because diagnostics are limited and it's been years since I used a prompt (don't recall key commands), so that would be a last resort.I cannot afford a genuine backup solution until well after the holidays as I am a housebound disabled veteran and my income is a bit limited (my network upgrade cost a bundle as did our several computers and server what with isolation transformers and uninterpretables). So, knowing how to make a free installation log, would be swell, like strawberries and real whipped cream.
Here in our office network most users have to have admin access to run certain applications. I am wanting to prevent these admin accounts from further installing applications, etc. Is there an easy way to accomplish this using group policy, applocker or the like?.
