You are trying to install NVIDIA drivers on a machine that doesn't have an NVIDIA video card in it.
If your video is intel, then you need to download the intel drivers.

It sounds like it's giving a messgae satting "The Nvidia setup program is unable to locate any drivers that are compatible with your HARDWARE".
When you install a new graphics card it requires drivers to function. Drivers are software protocols that work like language interpreters between your computer and the hardware. Drivers are made specifically from the hardware manufacturer. If the above error message is what you are getting it means that the setup program is unable to locate the specific drivers it needs to install that hardware. The drivers should be located on the installation CD itself.
You should install any setup software included before trying to install the hardware itself. During the install, make sure you have the CD that came with the hardware in the tray. You may have to tell it specifically to look in the CD/DVD location. However, most graphics cards these days have their own installation programs, which install the drivers on the hard drive so you won't have this problem.
What Nvidia card is this? If you don't have the software that came with it I may be able to provide you with a site that holds them.
Also, I am confused over the "my video driver is intel" that you stated. Is your graphics card actually Nvidia or Intel? I would suggest right clicking on My Computer and Clicking on Properties. Click on Hardware and then the button for Device Manager. Expand the the "Display Adapters" section and look at the names it has listed under there. If it says Intel, then it means that you are trying to install Nvidia drivers, which are unnecessary for Intel graphics cards.

NVIDIA doenst make Motherboard integrated VIDEO CARDS... so... if u have a NVIDIA video card... a CD came with it... there are drivers on that CD... if not... then you must find the name of the INTEL video card and download the drivers...
Start -> Run -> type: dxdiag -> it will enter Direct X diagnostic tool... hit the DISPLAY tab... and there it shows the name of your video card... google it for drivers...

You using Vista? You need the latest drivers from the site.
