    Hi, I just got the Aspire 8930g for free as a prize. I'm trying to update the video drivers for the 9600GT, but the ones from Nvidia.com say that no compatible display was found. I tried looking at Acer Canada and US site but there is no drivers for 8930 series. Strange maybe the model is too new. How can I go about updating the video drivers? Right now it says forceware 176.26 is installed.

    176.26 is a pretty good one, actually. It's what I'm running.
    Why the need to upgrade right away, anyway? Play with it for a while!
    And most importantly, burn those recovery discs before you do anything that could screw up your system!!
