I want to try out the new Nvidia 186.03 drivers on my Alienware M15X with Nvidia TGX 280M and am using the latest version of 64-Bit Windows 7 RC. When I try to intall the drivers I get the following error:

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

I have uninstalled my previous DOX drivers and even used a Driver Sweep program but still get this error. Any ideas of what is going on ??? Thanks for any info. God Bless

I got that error when trying to do a "have disk install" but it worked once I used the setup.exe

Do you have a dual-boot system? Maybe it's a W7 thing.
