Nvidia driver problems

Ya when I click on that it opens the download window for the download manager. If i click cancel on that, it just goes back to the download screen without downloading anything

Try this direct link. http://ftp.us.dell.com/video/R268991.exe

The problem is when I click on the download button for a driver it prompts me to download the download manager. If I cancel out of that I just go back to the download page without anything happening. The driver never downloads.

Oh right wait I'll try that

Don't forget to click on Save. Never install a driver as you download by clicking Run, but install it once it has downloaded by opening the file location and running it from there.

I did that and it says the driver is not validated for this computer

So you're saying that the driver supplied by Dell themselves, which I located by following the links starting with the link you provided in post #3, is not validated for your computer?

Don't you mean that the driver hasn't been digitally signed?

Uh I couldn't tell you if it was or not, but ya that's pretty much it

Ok so it boils down to this:

I've managed to download a file named R268991.exe per your instructions.
It contains an application labeled Setup.exe. When I click on it, the usual authorization window appears. However, instead of redirecting me to the setup window, nothing happens. It's as if I hadn't clicked on it.
