Annoying Driver!

[Nik001172]

First off I made the dumbest mistake of my life by spending $1,100 on a laptop from cyberpowerpc, their support sucks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've spent the last two hours looking for a driver that works with vista 32 bit on my 8600GT mobile 512 MB. Sounds easy uh? Yea i've been banging my head aganist the desk cause of this.

The offical device from cyberpowerpc is NVIDIA Mobile 8600GT 512MB Video, is there a good place to go to that gets me drivers that work and drivers that don't tellme I don't have a 8600Gt. I've tired laptops2go or w/e the site is too BTW.


OS is vista 32 bit, device is VIDEO: Built-in NVIDIA Mobile 8600GT 512MB Video

Which model CPPC do you have?

Have you tried Nvidia's auto detect my drivers?

it's the button on the bottom.

Also note:
. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.

I'm not 100% but these (http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista/176.28) drivers might work.
