    Hi everyone,

    I'm really stuck while updating to Dell's 263.08 (A02) official graphics driver. The Nvidia setup just says that it failed, whether I chose Express or Custom install. Any idea ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you uninstalled all previous drivers and Nvidia related programs?

    I never had big issues with driver installs on any laptop EXCEPT the 263+M11x. It would only install if I did a "run as" admin. Doing so worked great no issue.

    Yeah, the 263 was a very buggy installation for me too. Usually I just kept the previous drivers that worked right.
