does anyone have a good driver that does not cause any problems?

[I Ate Your Pie]

Hello, I own a sony vaio laptop with the nvidia geforce 8400m gt on 32 bit vista, and I have been experiencing some glitches in counter strike source and half life 2 and I decided that I needed a new driver.

I am kind of paranoid about doing any form of damage to the laptop and its hardware/software, so if a driver does not work, all I have to do is roll back the driver and everything will be back to normal right?

Thank you

EDIT: please read & answer my question in bold a couple posts below..

I'd try 163.15 or 163.16 personally.

I looked at those but on the "Original INF only supports:" I don't see my nvidia geforce 8400m gt.

please help T.T (sorry I'm sortof new to this stuff)

by the way If I have problems with the new driver I just have to roll back the driver to return everything to before I installed the new driver right?

Thanks

Replace the original INF in the driver folder with the INF supplied here and it wil work with your computer. That was only a list of what was originally supported with the driver... Here, we add support for all nVidia GPUs. Read the FAQ for instructions on how to install properly.

If you have problems, just uninstall the driver and reinstall whichever one you started out with.

which driver do you reccommend for my system?

Ya, there shouldn't be any permanent results at all. If it doesn't work, just reinstall the old driver.

I said 163.15 or 163.16 would be a good starting point.

Roll back or system restore - I use either depending what I've done.

163.16 feels quite reliable.

well I looked up 163.16 vista 32 bit and 163.15 vista 32 bit but I saw some negative replies to those so I'm not sure.. And I've read some driver comments and some people said they could not boot up even though their driver was rolled back so I'm sort of nervous.

Does anyone have a 8400m gt and vista 32 bit with a working driver?

alright let me just ask:

if you have an nvidia 8m series gpu on vista 32 bit, what driver are you using from this website? (and does it cause any problems?)

thank you
