    HI guys,
    i had to reinstall XP OS on my XPS M1530 machine. the previous nVidia driver(which was working perfectly b4 reinstalling) seems not working well as i have got couple of times BSOD problem. then i have tried three different version which r 180.84,185.85_notebook_winxp_32bit_whql, 186.18_desktop_winxp_32bit_english_whql. none of them r good cause i can defference the video quality of the movies. presently i reverse back to the nvidia_gfgo_17637_xp32, it seems bit better than those others but still i m not happy with the video quality.


    guys does anyone have any good nvidia driver version which will b working perfectly with xp sp3 in xps m1530 machine. i'll be grateful. plz help me guys...

    Have you tried the nVidia web site for the latest driver?

    BSOD because of nVidia driver... I may be wrong, but that's a sympton your nVidia card could be dying :(

    If you're not happy with the color, try tweaking "digital vibrance".
