    As I understand it nVidia don't actually make official driver for their mobile cards, aside from those supplied by the OEM (read that in a post or two around here).

    Look on the site that Waveblade has linked to, they have pretty much every nVidia driver since the dawn of time (well maybe not that far back).

    Ive done everything in the quick guide to install the driver but nothing happens...

    At the installing driver screen the status indicator keeps flowing but absouletely nothing happens. And after a few mins i got the Timed Out message :(

    Whats wrong? Ive tried either the 180.44 and 180.48 version of the vista64 driver. Same **** happens with both of them :(

    Also tried to install the drivers with the setup.exe provided in the driver pack. Same... :( Status indicator stucks in the middle of the progress bar and nothing happens.
