    I am trying to install the new drivers from nVidias website on my new m11x R2, which is awesome, but I constantly get this error message...

    "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."

    Maybe I am not uninstalling it right, or maybe I am not installing it right, or maybe I am not overwriting the old nvdm.inf properly, I am not sure but some help would be great since this appears to work for everyone but me.


    Fixed:

    I left the original file intact and I believe that was the cause, once it was fully removed it installed perfectly!
