Strange flashing shapes and such

My desktop computer that I played WoW with's motherboard recently died, and I don't have the cash to replace it, so I decided to put WoW on my laptop.
Well, once I installed and patched it, I started it up, and I got
these
weird flashing shapes and intermittent views of the screen.
I think it's my display drivers. I'm using a toshiba satellite 2435 model laptop. The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 420Go (I know, really old) 32 MB memory, and driver version 6.13.0010.3230 which was downloaded 11/12/2002. Toshiba decided to be stupid and not update drivers past that, so am I stuck?
I've tried some drivers downloaded from other sites, but none of them work with my laptop, once I restart, it simply says I have the same version as I did before.

hmmm, let me give that a shot
EDIT: When I try to install, I get a message saying "The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"

alright I'll give it a shot, thanks
EDIT: everytime I try to install after I use that program, the install program stops responding
EDIT2: I got it installed, but now WoW doesn't respond whenever I try to start.
FINAL EDIT: I got it started by skipping the launcher, and no flashing shapes, you are my internet savior :O THANKS (if I could +rep, I would :D)
