    You use driver sweeper after uninstalling the current drivers, before installing the new ones.
    Have you tried installing the latest mobile driver available on the nv website?

    Go to add/remove programs in your control panel. The process is the same as uninstalling a program.

    Control Panel > Uninstall a Program (VISTA) or ADD/REMOVE Programs (XP)

    After uninstalling, you will restart your computer. Your screen resolution might change, don't worry about it.

    Download and install these http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_notebook_winvista_179.28_beta.html

    I've been using laptopvideo2go drivers for years, but now that Nvidia offers their own drivers for mobile systems, there isn't as much reason to use LV2G unless you need super BETA drivers (like the 181.00 or whatever that increase GTA 4 performance).
