    Hey,

    I just finished installing XP on my 1530 and I've been looking for drivers, looked at laptopvideo2go and got a few, but all of them say I have the wrong hardware or some such when I try too install them.

    So anyone can point in the direction to the best one that'll work? Much appreciated!

    you need to get the modded INF.

    Download the drivers through the forums and not from the main page. At the top of each post for each driver there is the driver and the modded inf. after downloading the driver, extract it, replace original inf with the modded version, uninstall old drivers, install new drivers. I recommend this all done in safe mode so your comp isnt trying to use the driver as your trying to uninstall

    I use the 174.93, but have used the 169.28. The 169 was a little more stable but ran a little hotter.
