    Sounds like your trying to install the desktop nvidia drivers instead of the notebook ones. Are they from the nvidia site or laptopvideo2go? If thier from laptopvideo2go make sure you also download the modded inf file to go with the drivers.

    That doesn't matter.

    From laptopvideo2go, just download the driver you want and the modded INF that goes with it. Decompress the driver, copy the modded INF into the new directory, and run the driver installation proceedure (preferably from safe mode).

    I recommend 163.16, as it has been stable for me for some time now. If you want to try 163.71, be my guest.
