    No, those drivers won't work. Nvidia does not provide drivers for their mobile cards, they leave that to the OEM. So you would need to get your drivers from Sager. Or you can go to www.laptopvideo2go.com and get drivers for your card. I highly suggest finding a thread on this forum by Chaz on installing drivers. He breaks down the entire process and links you to where you can dl the drivers.

    A suggestion though. I used the .67 drivers on my 8600M GT and got a crash. So I reverted to the .44 and they working find I just can't set my Vsync prerender below 1.

    Goodluck to ya,

    I'm pretty sure >75% of us here use laptopvideo2go drivers. They work wonderfully.
