    I have the 8600 512Mb graphics card. I have been trying to update my video drivers for a while now and when i download them off the nvidia site they say it doens't match my current hardware. and then it says to get them off the asus site. I get the same problem. can someone hook me up with link of where i can get the up 2 date graphics drivers???

    Thanks

    I am getting the same error message: "The NVIDIA setup can not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
    I have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. Do you think you can hook me up with a link cause i been encountering this problem for many many many weeks now and i can't seem to find the right one :( I am still using the drivers that it came with. They are 7 months old.

    Sorry to bother you so much. when i click the modded inf file it just brings up a bunch of text not anything to download.

    you take the modded INF and put it in the folder you extracted the drivers to, and replace the old one.

    If you use the stock drivers it isn't difficult, but if you want to use newer ones, you have to go with laptop2go. Inf file just tells the drivers to be installed for the mobile version of 8600 and you have to manually copy it to the extracted drivers from laptop2go.
