    the driver I'm using is from Dell website, it says nVidia 101.43 Vista-32bits Drvier for G86/G84. is this the newest driver now for m1330's 8400gs? i saw people are using something like 162.22 where do they download it? i download a forceware 162.22 from nVidia.com and it says that it isn't compatible with my machine. so where should i get and which driver should i use?

    The drivers from laptopvideo2go do not install on the m1330. I get an error that says no compatible hardware.

    Where can I get compatible drivers that are newer than the Dell driver?

    I'm using the 163.44 drivers from laptopvideo2go which seem to give the best performance/stability at the mo. To use drivers from this site you will need to replace the .inf file with the modded version thats provided - have a look at the following post for more details on how to do this:
