    YES, but you have to download the INF file next to the driver file to be compatable, or it will not download. Follow the guide instructions(Pictures) to the right. It gives you a step by step follow thru.


    If this info helped, Tap up my rep!!! ;)

    Dude, stop asking for rep. No one likes it. You'll get what you deserve, esp. when bob there has a whopping 0 rep power.

    If that is the case, Lord Lithus, i was once at zero until my 30th post--wich at that time, i occasionally asked for the boost. So your theory has been debunked! ;)

    It's like asking for respect. You have to earn it, not beg for it.

    I was wondering if this 169.28 Nvidia drivers takes care om the instability with Vista Ultimate (32bit) Dreamscenes? Everythime I try to have a Ultimate extra dreamscene as a wallpaper it says that explorer (not IE) doesn't respond and Dreamscene was shut down, and the display driver didn't load properly (doesn't tell me which one). So am I able to have at least one dreamscene on my Vista..? I have installed every Windows Update.
    I haven't installed anything else on my XPS m1530 because I just testing it so ewverything is fine. But Vista is a pain (coming from XP).
