Windows 7 + Samsung R610 = True

YES!

I did fix one of my bigger problems :)

The problems:

  1. Could not update the bios on my new laptop
    on Windows Vista 64-Bit and on Windows 7 64-Bit
  2. When I installed Windows 7 on my new Samsung
    R610 laptop I got several problems.

    The biggest problem was that the standard VGA
    graphic driver was the only driver that worked.
    And the NVidia driver crashed my computer.

How-To and the solution:

  1. I installed Windows Vista 32-Bit and did the bios
    update from the Samsung support page.
  2. After the bios update I installed a fresh copy of
    Windows 7.

    Then downloaded and installed the newest driver on NVidias download page.
    Before any updates from Microsoft!

 

Now I got great resolutions and I can use my external screen.
Better than with Windows Vista!
After some extra job, but that’s okay :)

      Have you done the Bios upgrade?
      My Windows 7 can see the webcamera, but I have not tried to install any camera application yet.

    Hi I have windows 7 and the webcam works fine on my R610. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and I used the vista drivers that came with the laptop on the system software media CD.

    I don’t think the XP drivers will work for 7 – but I may be wrong. Try the Vista ones instead.

    I’m more dissoppointed with the screen resolution on the laptop since installing Win7 1280 x 1024. :(

    It’s a Geforce 9200M GS and Nvidia have a Windows 7 driver on there site.

    The resolution on the laptop is 1366 x 768, but I got better resolution on a external screen.
