For some reason, Win7 has picked up my graphics card as just a standard VGA one, so everything is stretched! Any ideas how I can find the drivers or whatever for it? It's a HP laptop.

I had the same problem. I just used the Vista drivers and it works fine.
It's worth a try.

Went onto the Nvidia website, and:

The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.


So I'm basically screwed? It's completely the wrong resolution, and won't let me pick a normal one! hehe
