Gears of war and sager 2090 nvidia driver problem?

hi guys this is the message that pops up when i try to play gears of war. Its great vista is trying to get me update but its stuipd its trying to get me an update that doesnt even exist for this card so once.. again when you think vista will pull something good for you it fails you in a minute.

message:
To run Gears of War with your current hardware setup, you must install the following software update or updates:

+ NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 Driver
+ Update to Windows Vista to resolve graphics virtual address problems (KB940105)


If you do not install this software, at some point the game will stop and your progress will be lost.

what can i do ??/ i have the 8600 gt and only reason i got the laptop as many of you know is to run gears of war on it so what can i do here? please help thanks ! BTW anyone running gears on the 2090?

 

What driver are you using? I would recommend to update it to the 16x.xx if you havent yet.

Then download & install the Vista (32-bit) Hotfix:

Restart. And it should work.

 

well i just wanna say i messed up, you can acutally just skip it.. But its stuipd that it makes you download a driver that isnt even for your video card. But yeah i been running gears and it runs really sloppy..

 

sloppy?

Which drivers are you using, and did you set your system to Max Performance (rather than balance or power saving mode)?

Do a 3DMark06 and post your score... its a good indicator of this.

 

kk i will do 3d mark right and yeah its on performance Duh lolz.

 

started download gonna take 5 hours and its 2 am here so should just close the notebook ( not turn off) and except to have it in the morning wihtout having it closing my download and going to sleepr or overheating and blowin up lolz.

 

what?!? 5 hours...

are you using dial up?

if so, then make sure to leave your notebook on somewhere cool and safe.

 

no dsl (canada telus .. payin 35 BUCKS FOR it ) omg gettin jewed .. lolz hey if you have msn or xfire add me

xfire = lavitiz
msn = [email protected]

 

sorry I do not do MSN, AIM, etc...

I only do IRC at times.

Did you download 3DMark06 yet?

Yeah, that one will due.

I hope you are using a Download Manger (like GetRight, FlashGet), so that you can resume downloads if you ever get disconnected.

 

Gophn your patience is legendary

 

^^ take that as insult... if intended. But yeah appreciate you helping me Gophn but good ol DSL slow cant do much installing 3d mark now. I cant remember what my desktop got before but yeah hoping my laptop owns it

 

your notebook should hit around 3300-3500... which should be fine.
