    Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone could give me a hand. I installed FIFA 08 and it runs the game in slow motion -_- what I was told was to update my graphic drivers. I already updated it through the HP official website, which was the same drivers that already was installed. However, whenever I go to websites such as, laptopvideo2go, when I download a driver and want to install it, i get this message:

    [​IMG]

    "The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"

    I already made sure that the drivers that I was downloading is Windows Vista 32 bit... -_- any thoughts?

    Specs: HP Pavilion dv9535nr Notebook PC
    Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5 ghz
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    2 Gigs of RAM
    nVIDIA 8600M GS 256MB
    320 GB


    thanks in advance for helping a dummy :)

    You need to download the modified INF file at LV2G and read their install guides. It should not be a problem after doing that, and good luck.

    Make sure to download modded inf from laptopvideo2go.com & extract original driver to folder.

    Finally replace your original inf with modded inf(Copy & paste to extracted folder)
