Are you choosing the correct 32bit or 64bit driver?

most likely you downloading wrong version of drivers, the only few times i seen that massage was when i grabbed wrong drivers off website.
also possible you have different GPU (but im guessing you know for sure)

i am trying for 64 bit i got everything right its just i am not able to install it. I dunno if its because Acer don't allow to as an OEM to install driver from Nvidia or that my notebook in particular has got some issue.

have you try that auto detect your gpu on nvidia web site??
I ran into same problem when i reinstall kids laptop, after like 5 different downloads finally got right package from web site.
It is possible GPU is dead on laptop thou

yup i did downloaded the same driver... and ACER is not ready to hear me out on this they tell me "you have to use drivers on ACER website only" or the one pre installed on your notebook, but since they don't understand why it is important to update the driver to the current one I have stopped asking them for a solution. :|
