Re: Problems with Video Driver IBM ThinkPad R51

Hello,

Im having great issues with my IBM ThinkPad R51 with it's video driver. Im trying to find one for Windows 7 Premium Home Edit. 32Bit. But I am having bad luck, and whenever I try to look for Windows 7 drivers on ATI, it sends me to computer manufacturer so I choose levono. I do have a video driver but it's not really one because its just the VGA one from Windows 7, which I cannot play any games because of this. Please help me with finding a Windows 7 32Bit Home video driver ATI for IBM ThinkPad R51.

Thank you so much for looking over my issue. I hope someone may be able to help me in this crisis.

Re: Problems with Video Driver IBM ThinkPad R51

Welcome to the forum!

What's the 7-character model number of your R51 - located on the sticker on the bottom of the machine?

Chances are that your video card is not supported in W7 or Vista, and you'll have to use a generic or modded driver...

Cheers,

George
