    I tried to update my video card drivers by downloading the latest drivers from the Nvidia website but they won't install.

    The Dell drivers seem very out dated. What drivers are you guys using?

    Thanks for the help

    Dell just released WHQL 175.97 drivers. That's what I am using right now on Vista 32bit with Vostro1500, 8600M-GT. The performance is on par with the previous 174.31 drivers on Dell site. I check the other Dell laptop models for newer Nvidia drivers. This one is for Vostro 1510 but works with Vostro 1500 as well.
