See below for the latest video driver:

http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/307.83/307.83-desktop-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

When installing, click Custom rather than Express, and there's an option to perform a clean install.  Check this box, and continue, rebooting when asked and after the install.

Hope this helps.

This is a desktop computer - correct? If so, go to the Nvidia website and allow it to scan your computer to find the drivers needed.

I took 10 minutes and searched for it. Literally - 10 minutes.

If you're still getting the error you should contact the game / software provider.
