    Would someone in this Group have a driver for an Invidia Quadro-4 Model
    P-80 Graphics Card? My Operating System is Windows XP. I was not
    able to get the exact driver for this model on the Invidia Site, for
    some reason.
    If anyone has it and is willing to U/L it to me, please E-Mail me and I
    will provide you up with a link to my FTP site. I have a Cable
    Connection, and you should get speed in excess of 200K. The file should
    be around 25MB.
    Thanks in advance,

    That's a very odd model #.

    All Nvidia Quadro cards are produced ( or marketed) exclusively by PNY. It
    used to be ELSA, but they went belly up.

    That being said, the model number for Quadro 4 series would be something
    like "750XGL", "980XGL", etc.

    Is your card an OEM for an HP, Dell, IBM, or other big company ? They'll
    sometimes put there own part number on these things.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter because Nvidia uses a unified driver scheme. Go to
    this site http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/videocardtesting.html and
    download the latest Quadro 4 driver. On installation, it will automatically
    sense the card and install the correct configuration for it. That is "IF"
    it's a Quadro 4 XGL, and not a Quadro 4 NVS (which isn't even a 3D card).

    Make sure you uninstall your current video drivers first, and reboot.
    Installing new drivers over old ones can really screw things up all by
    itself.

    Good luck
