Hey everyone I've been using this laptop for over an year now, but today was the first time 've ever encountered a problem with it
So I downloaded a freeware game to play but it told me I had to update my Video Card Driver, cool. So I went to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us to download my driver but I found out I had to download it from Samsung official site. I went there and I found absolutely nothing. I tried googling it and got myself a download, but the updater said something about me failing (updater said my computer was not compatible which is weird because I swear I downloaded from the X65 section).
So since I know there are computer wizzes here, I ask for your help
How the fuck do I update my videocard?
|
what video card do you have?
What is the exact notebook model?

You need to mod the .INF file to use newer drivers. Read this:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33
So it seems like you just DL the latest driver release for XP 32-bit, say the 8 series, whatever you want. Since they are unified drivers you will be able to mod them and the above link mentions that it works with your specific card, the 8600M GS.
You are correct though. There are no official releases from Nvidia, so you get the shaft if your laptop brand does not have updated drivers unless you figure out how to mod one of those.

NP, if you do not figure it out by tomorrow you can PM me and I can see if I can get it to work. I don't have a laptop with that video card, but I can probably figure it out and just send you the modded fiel.
