    I just bought G1S ( this one) and it came with Vista.

    I installed XP but i cant see " Display Adapters" or anything like that under device manager!When i run driver from www.laptopvideo2go.com(I tried too many drivers nd replaced inf file with the original),all the time it gives me error about "couldnt locate driver"!

    How can i install my nvidia 9500m GS driver?

    PS:I heard it could be because of copy XP but i found original XP now and still it's the same problem!

    So, are you using a legal copy of XP now? Because if you're not then we can't help you.

    If you are using a legal license, then check two things:
    a) the modded INF file should overwrite the original INF file in the driver directory. Make sure this is done.
    b) there are two methods to install drivers from laptopvideo2go: using setup.exe, or the Have Disk method. Try whichever you didn't try yet. For a guide on the Have Disk method, see the laptopvideo2go website.

    Actually,i found the problem now!It's because of 3gb Ram on XP!( More info) under
    How to fix VgaSave on XP with 3-4gb ram

    I didnt try yet because i'm trying to install XP now again!But before i had " Mobile Intel(R) PM965/GL960/GS965 Express PCI Express Root Port -2A01" this problem so it's the same problem as Irathi mentioned!

    After installing Original XP,i can write the answer here!So others can learn too!

    Oh yeah, I know that problem too. Took a few hours of my time a while ago, as well... Make sure to try all the root ports, it's now always the same number.

    Like I said earlier, try each of them at a time.

    Hopefully nothing important is linked to the port that you will need to disable.
