Windows 7 + Samsung R610 = True

By Fredrik Wall

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 :)

to see if this got more drivers for my Samsung R610.
