    Nvidia just realized a new version of driver but my m1530 says: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.Setup will now exit".

    Here is the link of the new driver which is now compatible with my laptop:

    How can i install the new driver?

    I assume you have the 8600 M GT.. and the driver from nVidia is not for Mobile cards... the drivers for mobile cards are usually obtained from the laptop manufacturer's, meaning OEM drivers...

    If you want, go to laptopvideo2go.com and get these drivers with a modded .inf and then you would be able to install.

    Or just install it manually and you don't have to mod the .inf
