    Hi Guys


    Recently I bought the 260m GTX for my Area-51 m15x. I'm able to install drivers from Laptopvideo2go, but not any official drivers from nVidia. When I try it says it can't find any supported hardware, and then exits. I'm on Win7 pro 64bit.

    I read somewhere that it might be because it detects the internal GPU.

    Is there any way to bypass it and force it to install? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated :)


    Thanks!
