If you at one point had that version installed on your computer there is a chance you can find the version in C:\NVIDIA\Display Driver. If this is the case click the one you want and find the setup.exe file.
You can also check the NVIDIA Drivers Advanced Search page and see if you can locat e the driver you're looking for.

I highly doubt you'll be able to find a 100 series driver now, and I'm not quite sure why you would want to.

Latest compatibile driver for my card is 302.80. I want to install display driver from 170-190 forceware. Im using windows 8. When I try to install older driver I receive error message that driver couldnt find compatibile hardware. Is there any method to mod old driver?

Why do you want to use a 100 series driver? That will be very detrimental to you performance. In addition, I don't believe that the 100 series even supports the 635M, I remember my GTX 285 running on 200 series drivers. Stick with the most recent driver for the best performance from your card.

I need to instal 197 driver version.It also could be any driver from 200 series. In counter strike 1.6 I dont need much performance. Any possibilities to install that driver? Maybe modding inf file could help?

No, do not attempt to mod the files at all, you have a high risk of causing major problems. Use the latest driver, and run your game in compatibility mode.
