Search through Idabiga's post's, as I posted all the drivers required for the Nforce. Which is what causes the Graphic issues with Mir3.

Mir will run on single core by default, so no need to worrie their. You only need to change the core preference if running a server on dual.

The laptop G/Card will be a generic Onboard card and do tend to use a different set of drivers for them compared to the slot incards. The laptop G/Card drivers are always found from the specific laptop branded website IE: HP

Is the desktop a made machine or a branded one, if branded then they will need to goto their website. The drivers that you found from Ida's thread, is it the same branded card?

The laptop card is not always a specific driver and is sometimes packaged with other drivers for the system board IE: Lan/Drive/Grpahic

Best thing to do is go to Nvidia and go through selection menu.

These are just a few places for drivers besides Nvidia.

On the HP site you only find Ref Driver and no new. If you search you need normaly the SN from the Nootbook and you find this on the Backsite.
If this Lappy a Home User Lappy then you get very old Driver by HP.
I have long time work for HP ;-)
