I have the Geforce 7900 GS on my laptop with Vista 32bit - my problem was very poor performance with gaming. Is that the type of trouble you are having? For example I could barely get 25-30 FPS in GW... which is obviously way below that video card's capability. I ended up using some Forceware drivers and they increased my gaming exp. across the board by at least 40% and in some games more than doubled them. I suspect that the drivers released with the laptop I had were very poorly optimized for Vista.. the 7900gs is a rather old GPU now, albeit not a bad one, esp. for games 2+ years old. With that said here are the drivers that really made the difference for me:

NBF MObile Force Enhanced Driver version 7.15.11.6904

Google that and ignore the warning stuff that Vista will throw at you.... check and see if they have 64bit drivers, but I think that the same one I use should be ok for you.

Good luck!
