Hello Everyone,

I currently upgraded my laptop to Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit from XP Professional. It all worked fine until the drivers started playing up. I tried to download a new Graphics Driver (because the one I got with vista was terrible that it can't even play screen savers) but I just couldn't. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Please it would mean allot.

To be more precise about the download issue:
I download a driver for example and just when the setup is about to startup it says "Problem, setup will be terminated".

Sorry,
I couldn't edit my post.

Some laptops you can, some laptops you can't, some laptops can be talked into it. It depends a lot on which laptop it is.
