Hi,

I have a Toshiba 2410-504 laptop with a built in nVidia Geforce 420 Go!

When I try and install new drivers (Forceware) I get this error:

---------------------------
NVIDIA Setup Error
---------------------------
The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Can anyone help?

I've tried installing a different version from laptopvideo2go.com with a modded inf, but this has been causing me problems playing movies (They are juddery) so I gather that I'm not actually getting any graphics accerlation from my card?

Thats if it isnt just an exe you downloaded

Yeah it's an exe you download,

It unpacks, then tells me that the card isn't detected.

I could probably kill the process when it halts, leaving the files for me to fuck about with, but I'd rather someone have a legit solution that will get me running on latest ver.

some of the newer drivers won't work on older cards, you might have to search for an older release

I did,

nVidia drivers work on a UDA. so they should work with all cards. but don't work with original equipment.
