How to get Nvidia drivers working on a Laptop

Nvidia for some reason do not allow the latest driver updates to be run on a laptop. However fear not as there is a solution. Personally this has worked for me and I take no responsibility if it does not work for you.

There is a great site called LaptopVideo2Go.

In order to enable the latest Nvidia drivers to work on a laptop they use something called a Modded Inf. This isn't so me Paul Weller tribute that happened to star in Harry Potter, this means that the driver files supplied by Nvidia in the INF format have been modified by the people at LaptopVideo2Go to enable them to be run on a Laptop.

Try the following steps

1. Visit LaptopVideo2Go
2. Click on DownloadDrivers and Select the Operating System on the Left Hand Side that matches your own Operating System
3. In the table you will notice a list of drivers. The top set are probably the most up to date.
4. Under the Download column click the Arrow which will download the driver pack for you
5. Under the INF column download the Modded INF that corresponds to that driver pack
6. Once the files are downloaded extract the .EXE file to a directory. For simplicity i create a directory driver on the c:\
7. Copy the .INF file into the new directory and when it asks replace the existing one.
8. Carry out the Installation as normal
9. Hey Presto! Welcome to a life of new drivers!

Hello and Welcome to Ask Your Blog. I am the sort of guy like many of you out there that gets fed up searching the internet for hours on end for the answer to something only to find that the answer was only a single click away on a Google search. Anyways I have set this blog up to try and aid people who are asking the same questions as me on the internet and hopefully give some guidance as to where to get the answers!

To all those car owners who relentlessly search the internet for the best price on car parts, or how to fix minor electrical problems, I do sympathise. The internet has alot of information its finding the right, relevant information thats the problem.

To anyone who has searched the internet for the latest nvidia gforce drivers for their laptop (Nvidia don't actually supply them) I feel for you.

These are just two examples of times when I have spent too much time only to get a quick answer. Keep an eye out and maybe the right answer will be in this very blog. Only one click away

And to answer your first question. That photo at the top of my blog was taken in Mount Charles, Co. Donegal, Ireland! Its a lovely spot if not a bit baron. Welcome to my blog people!
