Guest Yos Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have an Alienware Area-51 M15x, when i got the computer 2 days ago it had the nvidia 8700GT graphics card installed on it. I wanted to update the drivers as they were old ones, so i went to the Nvidia website and downloaded the most recent drivers. The drivers didnt install properly and i got a message saying "The NVIDIA Setup Program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware..." i have already been on forums that have sent me in the direction of laptopvideo2go.com for their drivers but the problem is that the laptop does not detect that i have the 8700GT plugged in. Instead in device manager it just has Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family. Im running it on vista 32-bit. Any help would be much appreciated.

Guest CONSCRIPT Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 if you're downloading from here, make sure you are using a modified Inf which makes the driver compatible for most video cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
