    Hi have a xps 1530 8600gt latest bios a09 latest nvida drivers from dell. When i start homeworld 2 i get this message: Home world detected old drivers plz download the new drivers from nvidas homepage. It also says that it suspects that you are using a AGP card in PCI mode. Anybody have this issue or know how to solve it

    Well... those drivers from Dell could be the latest from Dell but they are not the newest or latest available from nVidia.. By the way, what do you have? 175.97?

    Please look here > laptopvideo2go.com and see if you can find one that would work with homeworld 2.

    Cheers.

    They are old with regard to the actual drivers released by nVidia.. nVidia is already into the 177.xx series if I remember right.. but for the M1530, the 175.97 was released just now.. anyway thats a different story.

    For your specific drivers, that laptopvideo2go is a forum.. where you can browse through / search for drivers with the "homeworld" as keyword.. see if u hit on something.. or else just login / post a request.. people wud surely help you...
