    Try drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com. nVidia mobile chips are not directly supported by them, it's up to the computer manufacturer to provide driver updates (and they usually don't). On the site mentioned you will find the latest versions of nVidia drivers modified to be compatible with mobile chips.
