    Hi
    I downloaded the 175.19 driver for the 8600 on my vista 32bit system, but when it gets to the installation screen, a message comes up to say that nvidia can't find any supporting hardware and it exits. Any thoughts?

    You can't use drivers from nVidia's homepage, you will have to use Dell drivers, or drivers from a website such as laptopvideo2go.com

    Where did u get it from???

    Did you try the driver from Dell? If yes, see if u can install the one from laptopvideo2go.. or else, do the vice versa.

    See if it helps.
