Hello my lovely BF2s Community. I come to you, asking your help on the vast expanse that is the internets.

On my Sony Vaio VGN-FS660p/w laptop, I would like to update my driver for my 128 MB nVidia GeForce Go 6200.  Current driver is version 6.14.0010.7083, date February 17, 2005.

Those of you who have a laptop might have encountered that the drivers downloaded from the nVidia website fail to install.  As such, I was given advice to use www.laptopvideo2go.com, and I successfully found an updated driver for my laptop/GPU combo.

Unfortunately, my laptop was reformatted without my permission (long story short), and as I am trying to bring my laptop back up to where it used to be, it is additionally unfortunate that laptopvideo2go, as of the beginning of this February 2008, has had hosting issues or something like that, and as such:

What I ask is if anyone might know where to find a more current driver than the obviously old one that is currently on my computer, or, if they are really knowledgeable, if it is possible to successfully download and install a driver for a laptop from the nVidia site, as I have tried repeatedly and am currently unable to do so.

The driver from laptopvideo2go I had on my laptop prior to the damn reformat was Version 7747.
I would be interested in either downloading that one, or another laptopvideo2go driver, Version 7749 (which I do believe would probably be the better choice).  Or if someone knows how to make the nVidia site downloads install properly, then I could use the driver from that site.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Thanks Freezer   Tried that, and it told me why all those times I tried to download/install from nVidia failed: "Sony requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site."  So I guess I'll head on over there and see what I can get, because at this point in time, anything that's an update is probably an improvement.

Karma for the link and for being so brave and leaving the first, and sadly, only response.

I'll update this later with what I find on Sony's site.

Edit: seeing as how I have a heavy load this week, "later" might be a few days. Blame an influx of homework and having to study for exams :S

Well, looks like I have 26 software/driver updates from the official Sony site, only one of which is an update for my nVidia driver.  After installing it, I will go from version 6.14.0010.7083 to 6.14.0010.7086 .... wow.  A pitiful increase of 3.  I really hope laptopvideo2go will come back online, but hey, I guess if Sony doesn't have any other updates for it, it must not have had anymore problems after that release, so maybe I'll just stop worrying about laptopvideo2go and just be happy with this one update from Sony.  Yeah, I think I'll do that.

Again, thanks for the link Freezer
