Just downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers - supposed to be compatible with the GT 120. Run the installation, and it says there is no compatible hardware. dxdiag and Vista both detect the card as GT 120. Has anyone had this problem or gotten around it?
Got a tip for us?

Okay, found out that the drivers don't support mobile GPUs. Used a modded INF, now it installs, but halfway through it says something about a Age of Empires compatibility error (don't have the game installed) and the driver install fails. Has anybody successfully installed it?
I am so confused about whether or not GT 120 and 130 are mobile GPU chips. Anyway, Nvidia has notebook driver available on their website as well, just download it there so that you don't need to use modded inf.
Here's the link:

Try it see if problem persists.
Because the GT 120 and GT 130 is not available for individual purchase, I don't believe nVidia drivers are available from the nVidia site...
I doubt it. I suppose that Apple used the desktop versions of those cards. Remember: GT 120 and 130 are not available for individual purchase.
Considering nVidia is going as far as to allow the rebranding of 9 series video cards as GT 1xx/2xx in the BIOS...
