    I keep getting the same error all the other nVIDIA drivers, including the beta ones have given me - I start the setup, and it gets to the screen with "nVIDIA" all over the background, and then a message pops up saying,

    What could be causing this? Only the 6/14/2007 drivers available on Dell's site have installed properly.

    Read the instructions, instead of assuming you know how to install drivers.

    Wow. I never thought it could be that complicated. All the Dell drivers installed nice and easily, so I figured it was like that for all drivers these days. Even the DOS driver I once installed was relatively easy. Well, I'll bookmark the laptopvideo2go page and read through in a while.

    Yeah laptopvideo2go is the place, and if you want the newes drivers go to the forums. There you have up to 169.02 while you in the "normal" site have up to 165.xx

    btw, in the forums, read the whole post, not just what driver it is. SOme drivers arnt meant for normal use

    It's not that complicated. You download the driver and the modded inf and replace the original inf. Install. Done.
