Hello, I installed Win 7 on my R52, but I have problems to find drivers: anyone have an idea to submit to me?

Thank you for the link, I know, but I have a particular problem with the video controller

I don't think there is a specific Win7 graphics driver, but several have been able to make the Vista driver work in Win7. I have never tried.

If your R52 has ATi graphics, use the Vista driver.

In case it sports Intel integrated graphics, there is no driver available from MS or Lenovo for anything newer than XP, and that one won't work.
