I have a brand new MacBook Pro, just picked it up from the apple store. It's a 15 inch with the 9400 & 9600 GPU... I just installed windows 7, and I cant get it to recognize my video cards. I noticed it wasn't running Aero, so after doing a little searching around, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that my graphics cards arent properly installed. Any suggestions? I've run the 2.1 update, with no results... Any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

Under "Sound, video and game controllers" it only lists Cirrus Logic, which i think may be the sound...
Under "System Devices" there is "NVIDIA nForce PCI system managment" and "NVIDIA nForce system managment controller" but it doesn't show my card anywhere...

Try loading up your leopard disc in your Windows partition and pull the drivers off of it. Then run Windows update (hit cmd and type 'update'). The hardware is pretty common and a lot of people run it. If that doesn't work keep us updated.
