    i did not know where to put this but anyways here's my issue. i went to nvidia to download a driver for my 6150 gfx card. anyways it downloads and then when i get to setup i get this error message saying that I don't have the right operating system (vista 32-bit) when that is in fact what i have. anybody know how to fix this?

    also another question concerning my gfx card while i'm on the subject I have gotten an error message saying that "my display driver has stopped working and has recovered successfully down in the icon tray. what is this all about?

    Nvidia does not support mobile cards, you'll need to either download the drivers from your OEM, or get modified ones from someplace like LaptopVideo2Go.

    Eh, mine does that every now and then. I think it's because the drivers were actually created for desktops and we're using them on laptops. Just a bug. Though I could be wrong. I don't think it's serious though.

    Btw. I'm the cooler Odin. I got a bigger number :) 5578 >> 243

    This happens on some of the newer drivers, you have to make sure you're downloading the driver and modified INF from LV2G, and then replacing the original INF in the extracted driver folder with the modified one.
