    Hello all.

    Im trying to update the Nvidia Drivers to the latest Beta release 290.53.
    Graphics card is nvidia quadro 3000m.

    However when I attempt to install I receive an error message that there is no compatible hardware when in fact there physically is.

    How do I complete installation?

    Disable Optimus and try again. Something went goofy with the current Nividia or Intel Drivers.

    Re-downloaded the Driver via 32 bit operating system link.

    Thanks for the input.
