    So I've been trying to install the new NVIDIA drivers with no luck. I have an 8400m GS running on a 32-bit version of Windows Vista. I have also uninstalled the pre-existing driver from my computer. Every time I double click on the installation file, I keep getting an error message that either says the hardware wasn't found or that the drivers I'm trying to install is not the correct version for the computer that I own. I've double checked and everything matches up.

    I running:
    Dell Inspiron 1420
    NVIDIA 8400m GS
    Windows Ultimate 32-bit
    T7500 Duo Core (2.2 GHz)

    Any help would be so much appreciated.
