One thing to bear in mind is that your Graphics card may not be compatible with Windows 7. check out this link: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/windows_7_solutions_uk.html or go to this for the US website: http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1241025430517.html
If you wish to troubleshoot then the first thing to do is to revert back to original driver that was first installed by Windows 7. You then need to make a note of the stop error code when it blue screens and to stop it rebooting automatically you will need to untick Automatically Restart check box. Do a right click on My Computer and click on Properties, on the left side of the window that opens up click on Advanced settings then click on Settings button for Startup and Recovery. You then uncheck the box as mentioned above and click OK to save the changes. Install the nvidia drivers and wait for the blue screen problem to occur and make a note of all the details that appear and then do some research.
I had problems myself at first with getting blue screen problems with my Geforce 7600 GS card even with the latest drivers from nvidia. The stop code I kept on getting at first was 0x0000008E which is often described as a RAM problem or some other hardware issue. I then downloaded the nvidia drivers from MSI who manufactured the graphics card I have and since then I have not had any problems.

On Windows Update on Windows 7 it has the Driver for this Graphics Card because when I first installed Windows 7 the Drivers were not installed and so I connected to the Internet Ran Windows Update and the driver was on there!
I have this card too so thats how I know!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I had the same problem as you, tried everything I could find in the net, but finally it was your tip that helped me out.
Hello qmartman and daniel, Can you please tell me the driver name / version that you use for FX 5200, because I couldnt find the correct files
Hi you can run the windows update its automatically checks for the Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher and finds for the driver and installs it mine is also the same card i have done the same thing

I went to Laptopvideo2go.com and downloaded their modified 96.85 driver (tried other newer ones but couldn’t get them work). http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista/96.85/disclaimer

Thank you very much for the help and the quick response.
Install a Vista nVIDIA driver. «A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code» CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
i’m using nvidia 5200fx same vista dirver 96.85 in windows 7
same trouble «aero» perormance is not working
just type windows 7 personalize in google and download one of the theam for win7
just double click it everything will be change
now my desktop filled with glass
Nada. Any other options to get the drivers to work. I got Windows 7 to install but now it says:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
So, do I just go randomly disabling devices?
Can someone provide the actual instructions to get a GeForce 5200 card to work with Windows 7? I have a Toshiba Laptop (Satellite M35-S320). Does the PC maker even make a difference? What driver and what INF file do I need to install to make my card work with Win 7? Please provide the installation instructions too.
Thanks for the help!!
I just purchased windows 7 premium 32 bit exc. I am running on dell dimension 8300 with a NVIDIA GForce FX5200 graphics card and it took me about 10 hours to get my sound working and Warcraft 3 to recognize my DirectX 11. So I will post the whole story since all day I spent looking through forums, I got a bunch of advice that did NOTHING for me.
FIRST: GO TO START>ALL PROGRAMS>WINDOWS UPDATE and make sure everything is up to date, I did all 3 of these steps and everything started working so I will list everything I did.
SO to make warcraft 3 work I made sure my DirectX was updated to 11, which is compatible w 7, then I made sure my Graphics card was up to date. (see if it is up to date by clicking start>run>type: dxdiag.) That will bring up what Graphics card you are running and the version, download whatever necessary update there is from the net.
Come to find out my NVIDIA GForce FX5200 had no driver update for that specific video card that worked on 7. Researched everywhere and no one had the answer.. SO, for shits and giggles I tried the Vista version update of that video card, and IT WORKED. THANK GOD.
My sound ended up working without me having to buy a new sound card like everyone said I would. I just did the windows update as I first states. Updated my DirectX and Video Card (Vista Version since they didn’t have one for 7) and my sound worked and Warcraft 3 finally recognized my DirectX 11. PAIN IN THE ____. I hope i can save someone for the hours of torture I endured.

I recently upgraded my PC to windows 7 and when triying to find the drivers for the new OS for my old FX5200 Nvidia card i find its not supported in the official Nvidia page. 🙁
DUDE. you rule completely. After HOURS & HOURS of searching I found your advice most helpful.
I followed the simple instructions and it works even better than before.
You are as Sheldon Cooper would say a ‘Homus Novus’ LOL
Thanx a mil. You have no idea how grateful I am.
My laptop is a Toshiba satellite P25 series running w7 and Nvidia Geforce fx Go 5200 graphic card. I have also explored the web looking for a solution to this problem but without luck. I modified the original 96.85 driver (only 2 files are requiered); after installing, the screen resolution is the one recommended by Microsoft (1440×900) but Aero has to be disabled so that the system doesn´t fail, although from time to time the screen blinks but nothing serious.
My main concern is to know if Nvidia or someone else could fix this issue because, in my case, the graphic card is integrated to motherboard and it is not possible to install a new one.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Dr. Data, thank you as well. 6 months later and I’m benifiting from your suggestion. I have been trying to get my GeForce FX 5500 card working in a PCI slot. I have a Windows 7 system in which the Geforce Nvidia driver for it, is only updated up to cover Vista, but there is no GeForce driver indicated for Windwos 7 on their site for these older video cards. I add what many have said, your system is too old for Windows 7 devices to work. Well, I got it working. I had the same message that Svuldruck was having in getting the Vista driver to download to try to use it for Windows 7- I think it was saying something like: Setup had detected the OS is not Vista and would not let me install that driver. As you said Dr. Data, run the updates and then it should take and it did and installed. But now I wanted to know that it applied that driver to that video card. To make sure, I went into Start, right clicked on My Computer, select Manage, selected Device Manager, found the Display video card that I plugged in, then Uninstalled Driver for it. Then I had to refresh by right clicking on the Display Adapters and pressed Scan for Hardware Changes, give it time as it took a few seconds and finally, after doing it a couple times actually, I saw the screen flicker and the video card showed up in there again. Perhaps I did not need to Uninstall Drivers at all, because it immediately showed it as having drivers associated with it as it gave me an option to Update Drivers, but not just to install drivers. Anyhows, so then I clicked on Update Drivers, then clicked on the option to find the drivers myself on the system and then found where the Vista driver was and applied that. Then it made me restart the system to apply changes. It appeared to apply changes, but still when I’d switch the monitor cord from the onboard video to the video card, nothing but no screen or monitor registering. However, the system was starting up or happening because I could switch the cord back to the onboard video and everything shows up.
But now I would plug my monitor cord into the new video card and nothing. So, what I wanted to do is add to this thread to help provide another layer to people solutions to similar problems. That additional thing I had to do that I did not find in my reading helps was this. For my computer, I wondered if there was not just a mechanism I had to employ to manually switch from the onboard video to the PCI video card. I googled it and went to this site http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Onboard/Integrated-Video-On-Your-Computer and the basic ingredient that made the difference was to go into my Bios, I think it was Advanced for my mother board and then selected the video display which was by default listing AGP or something like that as the first element boot choice. I had to change it to PCI as the first listed device, then saved and then before or while it started to boot I hurried and switched the monitor cord to the new card and presto, it all is working like a charm. The card had to do some adjusting and I might have to do some manual adjusting to screen resolution, but my first attempt after all of this was to now see if World of Warcraft or Frozen Throne would open up instead of freezing on the start screen and presto, it is working and showing my game. Just in case this can also help somebody, there is a process in the bios sometimes to change the default location your mother board will look for your video card options to start from. For all I know, perhaps the default video driver options would have worked and maybe I never needed the Vista drivers, but I think perhaps I’ve needed them because so many others have confronted similar problems with Windows 7 playing older video cards.
[SOLVED]I’ve been beating my head against this problem on and off for months since installing Win7 on my old Pentium 4 Dell for my mom. Microsoft’s «Standard VGA Adapter» driver severely limited the system’s capability, limiting resolutions to 4:3 aspect and disabling all directx features, for instance. Nvidia’s 96.85 Vista driver produced only a black screen with a cursor, requiring a reboot into Safe Mode to roll back the driver.
The solution was ridiculously simple, in my case. My mom had plugged in both the DVI and VGA cables from her monitor to the 5200 FX’s ports, and while switching between the two input modes in the monitor’s menu, it occurred to me that it might be worth loading up the 96.85 driver again and switching modes when I got to the black screen. Eureka! I toggled the monitor’s input/source button, and the black screen was replaced by Windows’ log-in screen.
Now I have my mom’s monitor running its native widescreen resolution on the DVI, with her 32″ HDTV set up as a second monitor on VGA, and Aero running smoothly.
