    Is there a reason you aren't using the drivers supplied by Nvidia.com?

    most likely the files where removed or temporarily taken down, what drivers are you looking for are they modded or OEM drivers, if they are the latter they most likely can be found on other sites.

    I can't use the nvidia.com drivers on my macbook pro. I get an error that says that the installer couldn't find any supported hardware on my machine. I heard people having success with laptopvideo2go so I want to try their drivers/ inf files.

    I'm looking for a modified inf file to the 186.81 driver.

    hmm...

    the nvidia drivers support the macbook pro and should work fine.

    reinstall windows cleanly:

    -install bootcamp drivers
    -uninstall nvidia drivers
    -install up to date nvidia drivers from nvidia.com

    There's a few drivers that have HTTP 404 Inf files for some reason. But unless something major happened, it's far from all of them. I'd suggest just downloading a different driver, for which you check that an INF file is available before downloading it (the INF will easily fit on a floppy disk, so it's a quick check). It shouldn't take more than a couple version checks to find one with a modded INF available.

    Try using right click and 'save as' on the INF links.

    I may need to start zipping the INFs as 3rd party browser plugins are giving issues like this.
    The INF links work fine for me with Chrome, which of course has no plugin to break anything
