I've bought this laptop "Dell Vostro 3700", having inside an Intel integrated graphic card and an Nvidia GeForce GT330M. Depending on energy saving mode it switches between the two video cards. When I try to update the video driver (now version 189.99 on Windows 7 64-bit) with that found on Nvidia site an error message say that it cannot find compatible graphic hardware. Dell doesn't provide a newer driver version. Has anyone solved the same problem? | ||||

Make sure the Intel integrated card is disabled in BIOS, as I assume you dont want to use it. In Internet Exporer, go to Nvidia.com and go to the drivers page and manually download (or use the automated detection) to download the latest Nvidia driver. | |||

You are basically forced to depend on Dell (or whomever the manufacturer is) for those mobile versions of the nVidia cards, especially if they are the Optimus hybrid type setups with the Intel video. See similar requests from nVidia's forums, Here and Here. With a little elbow grease, you can try out laptopvideo2go.com's driver 'scanner' to see if they have a modified nVidia driver that will work for you. Or you can try some of the listed 'generic' modification versions that work with many models. | |||

As of January 14, 2011, the latest version is 285.62. You can download it directly from NVIDIA, and it should work. You may have selected the wrong GPU. Also as of when you posted this question, those drivers were VERY out of date (199.xx was long gone). | |||
