Download drivers from here. If they refuse to run, right click and open properties. Go to compatibility tab and run it in compatibility mode with Vista.

No problem, drivers that you were using earlier are designed to support all cards, they are not designed for gaming, they are just to make Windows look acceptable before you install correct drivers.

if u hv problems to play Condition Zero in Windows 7, juz right click on Condition Zero shortcut at your desktop, go to Compatibility tab, tick on 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' then choose 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)' also tick on 'Run this program as an administrator'..then u can play without problems anymore..hv fun
