    Hey Norfolk,

    So here's the place to go for all your driver needs:
    http://support.asus.com/download

    Unfortunately there is no direct links so follow these directions to navigate to your specific graphic card drivers:
    1. Starting where that link above takes you, you will see a section on the right side of the page that says "General Download" and below that "Please Select the Product"
    2. For those three drop-down menus (selection menus) choose the following respectively: Product "Graphic Card," Series "NVIDIA SERIES," Model "EN8600 Series." Then hit the "Search" button.
    3. On the next page you arrive at you'll see a section below that says "EN8600 Series" and below that are three sections: "VGA," "Utilities," "Manual." Next to "VGA" You should see a little plus sign (+). Click it.
    4. This will cause a number of graphics drivers for various operating systems to show. Since you're using Vista x64, you should scroll down a very short way to about the forth one down. It should say "Vista 64bit" and the latest version number as of this post is 169.25, updated 1/2/2008 and is 72.21 Mb.
    5. Once you've found the right one, simply click "Global" in the "Download From" portion of the appropriate operating system section. Make sure you get the right one. There's a small blue disk icon next to the download link.
    6. After you've downloaded the zip file (this is just the file type), you should be able to just open it and run the "setup.exe" file inside. It will then extract all the data necessary and begin the installation. Simply follow the directions and when finished, restart your computer.
    7. There you have it, now you should be all up and running. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope that was easy enough to follow. Good luck.

    Matthew :cool:

    See the attached image below for a preview of the relevant portion of your download page. You will see exactly what it looks like. *Cheers!

    Stock drivers from Asus will not preform as well as drivers from Laptopvideo2go.com You should have a look at that site for a better driver.
