    I'm having a few issues with drivers. I had a crash during the ArmA: Armed Assault demo, and was told it was because of my drivers.

    My current version is:

    Driver Name: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
    Driver Version: 7.15.0011.0126 (English)


    I am not sure if these are the latest, but I have been unable to unstall any other drivers. I DLd some 163 forceware drivers for GeForce 8 Series Vista 32bit drivers, and it first said that I had no compatible gfx card, and secondly, ridiculously, that I don't have Vista 32bit.

    Now I definitely have Vista 32bit, and I definitely have an 8600GT.

    What is the problem, what is going wrong?

    thanks

    That website is really confusing. I have no idea which one I need, and none of them seem to be for vista. Could someone with a laptop and the 8600GT card point me in the direction of the driver I should download.

    Thanks
