    im trying to troubleshoot a problem with playing video files which is on another thread.

    im trying to update my FORCEWARE driver to 169.25 from 167.43 but when i start installing it .. it tells me im installing a 32-bit version on a non-32 bit version os. now, im pretty sure i have the 32-bit version of windows vista installed..

    this playing video file problem is driving me nuts..

    anybody else who has had the same problem?

    Are you using HP's driver. I have no luck with nvidia's drivers. Which other thread are you on. So I can catch with your video problem.

    is this from the nvidia website or laptopvideo2go.com?

    Are you sure you downloaded the 32bit version driver and not the 64bit?

    Just for the sake of trying it. Use HP's driver and see if it fixs your video problem.
