    i have downloaded it, but upon running, after the self-extracting, i get a message saying its not compatible, or rather that it could not detect the hardware..

    should i uninstall the previous ones? S:

    thanks for the help

    same thing happens with the 8400M GS on my M1330, the only way around this was to change the .inf file that comes with the NVIDIA drivers (in my case) with a modded .inf that can be found at www.laptopvideo2go.com however I dont know if they make modded .inf files for your hardware!
