Latest Nvidia drivers not recognizing Vista Version

Howdy! new to the forums!
I just downloaded the latest drivers for nvidia quadro nvs 140m mobile, but when i run the setup, it errors to something of this nature: setup has detected you are not running vista 32 bit and will terminate. However, i am running a legit copy of ultimate 32 bit for certain. Any help?

I do remember seeing a post on these forums after i searched the issue, and im not sure if it was ever resolved. Has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Latest Nvidia drivers not recognizing Vista Version

Thanks for the response! I have a thinkpad t61.

actually, i did some research after i made that post, and i found in the fine print on nvidia's driver site that lenovo must use oem drivers. So, I went back to lenovo to look for the drivers, and they were.. the same as the ones i had :-(

quick note for anyone that may be reading, the nvidia quadro nvs series are terrible for gaming! but you probably wont buy a thinkpad for games, right? (but wow does run very well, 30 fps in raids, dont know how i can run wow but not have d3d or directdraw support for diablo 2 :-/)
