    Hello all. I am trying to update my video drivers for my new P series that just got here :) What driver should I be DLing? I also have a small issue. I tried installing a set I DLed from laptop2go and after I ran the Nvidia installer, it says nothing was modified. Strange. Anyway, I would appreciate some help here. I am quite noob at computers and just want to update to play AoC in a few days. Thanks.

    NVIDIA doesn't offer drivers for laptops, you'll need to customize those so your 8800M GTS supports them.

    Hey, it's in his title.

    If you read correctly, you're suppose to put the modified INF file into the extracted folder.
