    I've been updating my drivers for my SLI'd 260m's, but I cant update anymore. Whenever I try, I get a message saying there are no supported products but I HAVE 2 260m's; so I am really at a loss to find out why. I uninstall the old ones, clean them with driver sweeper, updated my BIOS and still nothing. :confused: :confused: Any ideas?

    BTW, all pre 286 release works just fine.

    I forgot to mention, when attempting to install, the nvidia installer quits at the compatibility check and says there are no supported products.

    Hello, Revolution, if you're trying to install the 296.10 version, please download this archive and extract the content to "C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\296.10\WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver" and replace original file.

    Go back to the " International" folder" and run setup.exe

    Continue performing normal installation steps, choosing Custom(Advanced) > Next > and check Perform a clean installation > Next and at the windows prompt choose Install...anyway

    Reboot when prompted and voila.

    Don't forget to reenable SLi in nVIDIA Control Panel and reboot your system.
