The driver comes from the HP FTP servers, therefore the WHQL certification is plausible

We've spotted the Nvidia GeForce 285.97 Display Driver on HP's very own FTP server, after following an announcement made on LaptopVideo2Go.com's forum.

As far as we can tell, this is an HP-customized display driver from Nvidia, created to support the GeForce GT 520M and 610M graphic cards. Despite the fact that HP claims that this driver is intended for Windows 7 only, it's rather hard to believe that Vista was simply skipped in such a release.

Even more, the file is 354.8 MB in size, which makes us believe that we're dealing with a casual Vista/ Windows 7 driver. LaptopVideo2Go.com lists the driver information and states that this version comes with WHQL certification and a 28-language pack.

One of the users has managed to split the file in 32-bit and 64-bit packages and hosted them separately on LaptopVideo2Go.com. While in such cases no guarantee can or will be offered, we're giving you all the three links so you can decide for yourselves which one to test.
