Install Windows 7 on E6420 SSD - cannot install video driver.

I eventually got windows 7 to install on a Samsung SSD.  Now that it is installed, I am unable to install the video driver. When I try to run the driver exe, I get "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

Any thoughts?  What else do i need to know about having an SSD?

I don't get it. You just replaced your HDD to SSD, right? It should work..

Yes. it *should* just work; but it didn't hence my posting here :).   initially tried to clone my existing HDD, that turned out to be a miserable experience.  Eventually gave p and do a clean install.  First of all, the windows 7 installer does not recognize the drive, so you have to fix that by activating the drive.  Once I got windows 7 on i had to manually copy over network driver to get it on wireless.  Then, i downloaded video driver, but it refuses to install.
