Re: NVIDIA Installer cannot continue-The graphics driver could not find compatible dr

Is the graphics adapter "on-board" (ie integrated graphics)?
If so, only drivers from the PC manufacturer are compatible with it.

Re: NVIDIA Installer cannot continue-The graphics driver could not find compatible dr

Your laptop graphics are Onboard. All OEM updates need to be download from the PC (laptop) manufacturer. Retail drivers, as you have discovered, are commonly not compatible.

No you do not need to buy the drivers, they are all free. You just go to the laptop maker's website, navigate to the "drivers" or "downloads" area, select or type in your model number, then download the drivers you need.
