    As everyone knows, laptopvideo2go.com - our holy grail of Nvidia drivers - is down and moving to a newer, bigger server. Thus in the mean time I've seen people ask for drivers so I uploaded what I have: 169.04 and the INF.

    http://www.mediafire.com/upload_complete.php?id=gx5jhfo8npz

    I also ask that if you've downloaded drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com to go and donate some money to support their servers. Quite frankly I think they serve all of us very well, and I would recommend a donation of $1 per driver that you downloaded. Obviously this isn't mandatory, but lets show our support for their wonderful site.

    Edit: If you have any of the other drivers, fell free to add links to this thread.

    IMPORTANT: Can't believe I left this out - these are VISTA 32-BIT drivers.

    Yes, I hope so, but in the mean time for all those who decided to clean install or reformat just as LV2G went down, here's your driver.

    I assume they work then? Quite frankly I didn't know if the modded INF was correct. Can someone confirm?

    Glad to see new drivers are out, and glad to see LV2G slowly getting back and running.

    I re-uploaded the drivers if anyone still wants them. Guess this is what happens when you use a free file-hosting site.
