    Alright, so my laptop just came in today. I purchased the Dell Vostro 1500 with the 8600M GT. And i was thinking to update my nVidia drivers. so i go to www.laptopvideo2go.com and i click Download drives and it was at XP/32 bit. I assume thats corect since i'm using XP and it's on 32 bit color. So i download the version 165.01 and it has lots of No. of Downloads, so i assume this is the correct one to be downloading. Downloaded, extract all the files to a folder and now i've clicked setup.

    I am getting this error " The NVIIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit. "

    Please help me!!!

    Please refer to this page:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9243

    Simply download the INF file (at the right side of the driver you've downloaded from laptopvideo2go homepage). Extract the driver to a new folder and then copy the INF file into that folder, overwritting the existing file. Then execute setup.exe.

    It worked for me, but my video driver is now freezing and closing games. I'll try to download another driver version.

    Holp it helps.
