Windows 7 Drivers?

375 Views 9 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  kpo6969
My vista just screwed completely up thanks to NOD32 v4.0, No idea what it did but I'd recommend sticking with NOD32 v3.0.. When I installed it my system went to hell, I can't even download files anymore... None of my folders refresh automatically either.

Anyway... I'm thinking now would be a good time to test Windows 7. However, I'm not seeing many Windows 7 drivers... I was told that all vista drivers work on Windows 7? Is this true?

Yes it's true.

Though there are Windows 7 video drivers by ATi and Nvidia.

The only ATI drivers I see are "preview" drivers.

How stable is Windows 7 /w vista drivers?

Yeah if the device has Vista drivers then it will work fantastically. I suggest that you use a password when you install it. I have noticed some issues with some programs and file access if you don't have some sort of password, mine is a space.. lol

If you need to run Vista drivers just run in compatability mode.
I only had to do that for Creative sound drivers at first but now they even have Win7 drivers out.

Good for you, I was just addressing the thread title Windows 7 Drivers.
Just letting the OP know Nvidia had some out too, which gives an other option to the windows update drivers which wasn't addressed in your response.
