Hello, I can't use my mac-book pro graphic card on windows 7. I boot my mac with this program: VMware fusion 4.0.2 (build 491587).
Says something about VGA standard graphic card.
I've been downloading drivers from nvidia. A error message appear: the driver doesn't recognize the harware; this happens with every driver I download.
My mac has a graphic card: nvidia GE force 320m and can't be used on windows 7 ultimate. How do I fix these problem?
I will appreciate your help a lot.

You shouldn't need to download a WINDOWS driver for a MAC laptop. Make sure your GeForce driver for your Mac is current and get rid of all the Windows drivers you downloaded. That would definitely cause problems. Also a 320M can be used for Windows 7- there are drivers for it right on the Nvidia website, but since you operate a Mac you need your Nvidia Mac drivers not any Windows 7 driver. Also tinker around in the VMware Fusion settings and see if there is anything that might help.

EDIT: I don't understand why you don't just use bootcamp to create a partition and then install Windows. It's a cleaner process that would operate faster.
