    I downloaded ForceWare 163.69 WHQL driver vista-32 version from Nvidia website but failed to install on my m1330. The error message is:
    "The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
    But Nvidia website says explicitly that it support 8400GS.

    What should I do to install the latest 8400GS driver?

    My OS is Dell OEM vista ultimate 32bit version.

    Thanks.

    thanks so much ScifiMike12, I thought m1330 ships with 8400 GS, not 8400M GS. Even the latest Everest takes it as 8400 GS.

    I'll try to get the drivers from the websites you provided.

    No problem.

    Yeah Everest might need an update or hotfix to fix that graphical error. ;)
