    Whenever I try to install the newest nVidia or third party graphics drivers, I get an error saying that it can't find the right drivers for my card. So am I stuck with the crippled year-old drivers that came with my laptop? What the hell is the problem here?

    You can only use HP-drivers, being HP locks their graphics cards somehow.

    You can also use user-edited drivers, but I'm not sure exactly where to find those.

    It's not that HP locks their graphics cards thats not even possible...., it's the fact that not many updated drivers exist for the Geforce Go GPUs. Most Nvidia drivers are not for their Go mobile line and will not install on them. There are a few sites that provide modified ini files and drivers on that link however, but some cause the cards to not work properly. This isn't HPs fault it's Nvidias'.....

    A site for modded files/drivers is www.laptopvideo2go.com also try Rivatuner which is pretty good.
