    Hey guys, just got my 1530 today!
    Its great, got it in midnight blue, and actually lucked off with a great screen!
    Ive been trying to get all the drivers updated and everythings been going along fine up till nvdia updates.

    when trying to install Nvidia forceware 169.25, I get the message: cannot find the appropriate hardware for the update"

    wierd..

    Maybe Dell accidentally assembled a wierd hybrid version of 8600gt ddr3 card in my computer?

    Anyone ever get this problem b4?

    1. Download the latest driver and modded .inf from www.laptopvideo2go.com
    2. Extract the driver and replace the included .inf with the modded one
    3. Run the setup.exe file
    4. Restart

    I think that should do it...
