    Get the driver from http://laptopvideo2go.com/. You can get from there optimized-for-laptop video drivers. There are many version, but I heard 169.09 is the most stable.
    Don't forget to remove your driver first.

    Try to update manually. Download the INF only, go to Device Manager, find Display Adapter, find Update Driver, do NOT let Windows to search for it.
    Select Display Adapter from the list of devices, then point Windows to where the driver is located, or don't let him search and click HAVE DISK.. on the next screen and select the INF file. This might work.
