    Hey guys i have a 180.70 drivers from this site :
    http://laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21983(DOCS drivers for xp 180.70.1)
    I usually get my drivers from laptop video 2 go but the xp 32 bit drivers don't support my video card so i got it from that website so my question is that why its not why i'm gpu aint rendering any textures? (Also i am aware of the fact that gta 4 is causing alot of problems for other users simliar to mine)
    So my question is the problem is because 180.70 driver from this site?
    *If so the solution would be to go laptop video 2 go and get 180.48
    Or
    The game = broken period on 8600 gt m and I need the nvida drivers from there site which are desktop drivers that i would need edit ini to have time work right? If so what do i need to change in the desktop ini because i added in 2 lines
    %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.1% = mobile_nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407

    NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT"
    With those 2 lines i was able to get past the screen that would say "driver doesn support card" and it installed the driver in couple seconds but driver acutally didnt do anything.
    SO did i add in the wrong lines? Or what?

    I apologize if my post is confusing ill clear anything up/ just ask :p

    Thanks!
