Help! Windows 7 Graphics driver problem

    I've a feeling this is a long shot but someone may know of a solution.

    I'm working on a Vaio VGN-AR51J. It's been upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. Problem is the nvidia 9400m GT graphics card has no windows 7 driver. The only driver available for this is made by Sony and is Vista only.

    Most of the drivers I've tried fail with "no compatible hardware found". I tried a driver with a hacked inf file which installed ok but the caused a system hang on boot.

    Any ideas/solutions greatly appreciated.

    Run in safe mode and check your event viewer to see if its causing any software conflicts, and disable the other software if possible?

    Nothing there to suggest there is a conflict with any other software I'm afraid.
