    I downloaded the nvidia 163.44 beta drivers for Windows XP 32 bit.

    I downloaded the modified inf file from laptopvideo2go.com for XP 32 bit.

    I extracted the driver file to a folder and replaced the lv2g inf file with the one in the extracted folder.

    When I go to install the drivers (run setup.exe), it asks for some 64-bit files. Is this normal?

    I use those same drivers, but it didn't ask me for 64-bit files.

    Here's what I'd do. Instead of using the setup.exe (which you really shouldn't do with laptopvideo2go.com drivers), use the have disk method.

    Laptopvideo2go.com has a great, short guide on how to do this. It'll probably prevent the issue from occuring.

    Thanks for response StormEffect -

    I realized I had to download the driver file from laptopvideo2go, extract it then copy over the inf file. Can't use drivers from nvidia.com
