Nvidia Driver Install Script Problem

I'm having a problem with installing the latest Nvidia driver (IA32 
edition, version 1.0-5336), to get 3D acceleration working on my Laptop. 
When I try to launch the shell script to install it from a terminal I 
recieve an error, telling me that i haven't got the package for the 
right platform and that it cannot continue. But surely I have the right 
package? If I'm running an Intel P4 with hyperthreading then I'm going 
to need th 32-bit package and not the 64-bit package. The AMD package is 
also clearly not going to be compatible.

My laptop's got an Nvidia Geforce FX Go5200 in it, as well as a Pentium 
4 3 gig processor with hyperthreading. I've also downloaded and 
installed the modified Red Hat kernel with the 8 stack enabled on it for 
SMP from 
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php 
. The Kernel is 2.6.5-1.358smp .

Any ideas on this one?
