    Hello all :)

    Maybe I'm dumb but what are the risks of installing a 32bits nvidia driver on my windows 7 64bits edition ?

    I would like to install the 285.79 beta on my M15x but i'm not sure about the consequences ^^

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Good evening :)

    It will not work. Install a 64BIT driver.
