Default Trying to get video driver recognized

I have an HP dv6704nr laptop with a nvidia geforce go 7150m graphics card. The system says I have a VESA Framebuffer Graphics and an AUO AUO LCD Monitor. Under the HP for monitors it has nothing listed for my laptop. I did the 1 click nvidia setup and installed and restarted system to no avail. Steve

Hi
Have a look here;
Nvidia

I have never had luck with the 1-click easy way and have always
followed the 'hard way'
