I was trying to upgrade an Inspiron 8600 with an NVIDIA GeForce FX GO5200. I have run it several times using the RC and RTM versions of Win 7. Until the last time I ran the adviser (in December), I was told the video driver was fine but might need a visit to Windows Update. I did find a Vista driver that "worked" after a few .INF edits but left me with an unstable system. As a result, I put Win7 on another computer. Incidentally, in the December report, the upgrade advisor now reports no compatibility information on the video adapter! Mike
