Slaps forehead and yells DOH!

I just couldn't find what I need these past 24 hours or more. I broke down and used the HP support chat. 10 minutes later I was DLing what I needed, with a recommendation to not change OS and a warning that HP is not responsible for what the Nvidia site says or does to my system.

I can live with that. LOL. Computer is out of warranty anyways. Cheeper to replace parts than to extend the warranty. example. My new drive is warranted for 5 years.

All is good here now. I only have to install the apps I will use on it. Anything special I need to know with that?

Thanks for all your help and links.
