I wanted to downgrade my Nvidia driver version from 340.43 to 337.50. I used software called " Display Driver Uninstaller " to remove my current driver version. after restart , I tried to install 337.50 versions. then I got this error " this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware"

what is that? how to fix it?
Help me please

GPU : Nvidia GeForce GT720M
CPU : Intel Core i3 - 3217u 1.8GHZ
RAM : 4GB

Have you used that driver before?

Your GPU may be too new for that old driver.

Try the new driver again, does that work? If it does, it's possible the older driver does not have you video card as a supported hardware.

Wait a second, you have an M card, which means it's a laptop. Get the video drivers from the laptop vendor support site. Neither nVidia no AMD support laptop video card directly, while their stock drivers may work in some cases, for laptops you want to use the drivers from the laptop company.
