Inland, Jenny, I went on the nvidia site to see (just curious in case I want to partition for Win 7 & XP) if there was a XP driver for Acer's (Acer runs win 7) Nvidia GeForce GT 420M video card and I think I just found it **here**

Am I correct in assuming this?

Thanks.

Looks like a good driver to me -

Is this for the laptop that's using Optimus technology? Let us know how it works out. If it won't install because all it sees is your Intel graphics, there may be a way to force it by editing one of the driver files.

You know, I'd forgotten about the Optimus graphics processor - Cruise didn't you try to install a non-Optimus driver once before and it failed to detect your processor? The nVidia side of things kicks in under-the-covers, so unless this driver is Optimus savvy I doubt it will work.

Edit -

If you look in the driver notes you'll find this -

Notes::
1.Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release.
2.Sony has joined the Verde program by supporting the following VAIO notebooks: Sony F Series with NVIDIA GeForce 310M and Sony F Series with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. Other Sony VAIO notebooks are not supported at this time (please contact Sony for driver support).

Item No. 1 specifically mentions the Intel side of things.

Yes I did, but I don't know if this is an Optimus driver, I'm assuming it is.

Please see PM.
