i once had this driver installed before i reformatted my computer.

the problem is my computer is not compatible with this driver because its for desktops and I am on an acer laptop with a geforce 9500.

before i reformatted i had a program that was able to convert that driver to be compatible with my system. the problem is i can't remember what this program was called.

its kind of similar to riva tuner i think, just can't remember the name but it worked awesome, anyone know what I am talking about?

wow someone can delete this post, i spent hours googling for this program then one last try after i wrote this post i found it, nvidia mobility modder.
 
afaik, u can use Nvidia mobility drivers( they're specifically made for notebooks) directly instead of using the modder
