Nvidia drivers won't install

So I finally managed to get a dual boot setup done on my Sager NP9626. I have Vista 64 Ultimate loaded and XP Pro 64 loaded. However, when I try to install the drivers for the graphics cards (Nvidia 9800GT's) on the XP Pro OS, I keep getting an error saying that these drivers are for Windows 2000 or XP. I'm not really sure what to do about this. I've tried installing ALL versions of the drivers from Sager. The Vista and XP versions both 32 and 64 bit. Not sure what to do here. I really need to get these drivers to work cause XP Pro is where I plan to do my heavy rendering (Vista is just too slow doing basic things, but that's another discussion, just needs to be tweaked I guess). Some help would be appreciated.

 

Try drivers from Laptopvideo2go.com; these are the latest for XP 64 bit:

Be sure to DL the modded inf file along with the driver and follow the installation procedure here:

Also, nVidia is now offering notebook graphics updates (although, currently beta):

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the info. I installed the driver and it's working fine now. One problem though, I can't enable SLi. I can use the 2nd GPU as a physx processor but I'd prefer to have SLi since I don't have any programs that need a physx card. Is there another driver I should load to get the SLi capability on my XP Pro 64 side? Thanks.
