    Hey,

    I own an Acer 5920G with the following specs:

    c2d 2.0ghz
    2Gb ram
    250gb hd
    8600M GS

    I am trying to update the graphics drivers but I am encountering a problem. Im tryin to install 169.01 but as soon as installation would begin it always gives this error:

    Either no graphics card or else "setup has detected that the operating system in use is not windows vista (32 bit), now im sure it is.

    Any ideas?

    THanks in advance.
    Daniel.

    That is becouse nvidia doesn't support officialy mobile chips. But don't worry. You can use laptopvideo2go website. Becouse drivers, in fact, fits to every nvidia chip and they just didn't put mobile chips in inf files you get this error. This website modifies this inf file. So just download either already modified driver or just inf file and that's all. No problem. And for the future, use search function.
