    Hi so I went onto the nvidia website and tried to install the 163.69 forceware drivers onto my 1520 but they won't work. I get some message saying nvidia couldn'etect any compatible hardware for those drivers, but I am sure they are the right version and everything. I then looked on the nvidia website and saw something saying:
    Product Current
    Installed Driver Recommended
    Driver
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 101.43
    Dell requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.

    You can find more information at: http://support.dell.com/.

    The GeForce Go mobile GPU use drivers that have been customized to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior that are normally found in notebooks. The reference desktop graphic drivers that are provided by NVIDIA on our driver downloads page do not include these custom features. For this reason, the NVIDIA Forceware NVIDIA graphics display drivers will not install on most Geforce and Quadro family of mobile GPU's. Some newer laptops have been designed to work with our drivers. For more information click here.
    I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of the NVIDIA Software License Agreement.

    I still want to use the drivers off the nvidia website. I also tried some drivers form laptopvideo to go with the same result. Any help on how to install different drivers? thanks
