nVidia 2500m driver???

nVidia 2500m driver???

(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find a driver for an nVidia Quadro FX 2500m video card? I've been to nVidia's site, SolidWorks and Dell (I have an M90), with no luck. Yes, I've tried other drivers for similar nVidia products with no luck. I'm dead in the water here....flush

I'll give it a try, CBL, but none of the other ones I tried worked. None of them show any of the FX xx series as being supported. I find that rather strange...

Nope, didn't work. I get an error message saying that no compatible hardware was found.

When you install the driver? If so, then it's probably a problem with the card itself.

A star for you, CBL.
I looked under approved drivers, what I failed to do was search under Dell.
A star for you as well, Rob, but only because I owe you for the ration of grief I gave you a while back.

It looks like I'm up and running...for now anyway.

Thanks!

Laptop drivers need to be dloaded from the manufacturers web site.  This is due to issues with powersaving, etc...
