    I recently reformatted my hard drive and the company I bought the Hel80 from (ibuypower) didnt include any drivers aside from the intel proset wireless ones. I reformatted not too long ago, about a week, and installed the video card's driver flawlessly, using one from laptopvideo2go but for some reason its not working this time. I've tried three different ones for my 7600: 83.40, 84.88, and 92.91. None of them work and they all give me the same error. The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I would go about fixing said problem?

    You need to download the .ini file from laptopvideo2go as well as the driver itself. Then copy the .ini into that folder from the driver (over the old version of the file), and then it should install.
