    I am trying to get the Quadro FX 1500M driver for my 32 bit windows install, unfortunately it does not seem to be officially supported in Windows 10. I read in a couple of places about how the windows 7 64 bit driver could be used, but nothing about 32 bit.

    On Nvidia's site, there is a 32 bit driver but for windows XP.

    Any tips on how to get some driver for this card? The default windows driver will not run at 1920x1080.

    I have installed unsupported GPU drivers on a 13 yr old ThinkPad T60 laptop. What you'll need to do is find a way to extract the driver on a hard drive, then go to device mgr and click on the display adapter then choose update and browse the update to where the extracted driver is on your hard drive. That typically works unless if Windows 10 rejects that.

    How can I extract a driver? On Nvidia's site, there was an exe file for XP

    You could try to extract the package by installing it on an XP machine then copy the extracted package to a USB flash drive then attempt the update of the driver on W10 via device mgr. You could also try to install the driver directly by making the driver run in "Admin Mode" then setting the compatibility to Windows XP.
