    Hello all, I got a 1330 last week, and I tried to update the video driver today but it doesn't work. I downloaded the 169.25 from Nvidia site, when it gets to the install manu, a error msg pops up and says "The Nvidia setup program can not locate can drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Set up will now exit"

    I dont know what went wrong? anyone help me please

    Drivers available at nVidia site cannot be installed on notebooks. You need a modified inf file to do that. Both the driver and modified inf is available at laptopvideo2go.com.

    Download the driver archive (exe) from the above site, extract it on to the hard disk and replace the nv_disp.inf with the modified inf. Then run setup.exe
