    As the title of the thread says, I can't seem to be able to upgrade to any drivers other than the 267.xx that the laptop came with. I keep getting an error message stating that the graphics driver could not find any graphics hardware. The autoscan function on nVidia's website has the same issue and cannot find the hardware.

    I've been having issues trying to run games and I can't help but wonder if newer drivers would solve a lot of my issues so does anyone know how I can get around this? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply!

    My laptop came with the driver and BIOS you linked to, but I see at the last link you provided there is an additional file to download and a different process. I'll give this a try, much appreciated.
