Gears for Vista issues

[Esty H2O]

Blue has gotten so obsessed with Gears for xbox she just bought a new laptop to play Gears on the PC. I'm setting it up for her and am unable to play due to frequent crashes and the only thing it tells me is to update my drivers to this: + NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 Driver
Update, It says I need this driver or higher, I went to the NVIDIA website and downloaded the 169 driver and when I launch to install it, it says that it is not compatible with my NVIDIA product.


The graphics card that we have is NVIDIA GeForce 8600
The model of laptop is a XPS M1530. All the other requirements are up and running, just missing that. So, now she's unable to play. I need help. Thanks

VISTA sometimes has unexplainable problems with games on its own. I can email my step-dad who works with computers about yoru problem if you would like me to....he might be able to help.

Please do - through google searches, people are saying to turn off the OSD...WTF is the OSD?

this is absolutely Greek to me

**update - I'm on the Epic forums, man what a cluster, seems everyone is having a problem with this**

can you give me what exactly its saying so I can ask him? or write a small email yourself so I can send it to him? I know your having a problem with your video but I'm not sure exactly what to ask him >< (its foreign to me too)
