Build 5308 and NVID 7800 GTX (Laptop)

All,
Last month, I built vista 5308 and I didn't have problems getting the drivers installed, today, I have installed vista, downloaded the drivers from nvidas website.
I have these files :
31/03/2006 12:28 79,071 nvapi.dl_ 31/03/2006 12:28 1,376,230 nvd3dum.dl_ 31/03/2006 12:28 2,148,472 nvlddmkm.sy_ 31/03/2006 12:28 21,331 nv_disp.inf 31/03/2006 12:28 52,728 nv_disp.PNF
I have tried RIGHT click install on the INF, did not work update driver from computer manager, did not work.
any ideas?
has the download changed since i got it working awhile ago :)

I recently upgraded my drivers as well... no issues. Are you logged in as the Administrator perhaps, and try disabling UAP.
