    I was trying to update drivers for my 8600 GS but I downloaded them from NVidia, it said "can locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware". How can I update my drivers?

    Thanks!

    I saw that post but I'm not very good with this stuff. How do I know which driver to use?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately its really a matter of trial and error. Try the 156.83 driver on the very first page, it worked for me with a 8400M GS. Other people may have different opinions.
