    i believe this is dells potential fix to our gt555m recognition problems...they got tired of replacing our motherboards i suppose, that or i finally lit a fire under the proper tech employee about it (after being on the phone for about 7-8 hrs this week) i fixed mine a seperate way in the other post here...but hopefully guys can try this instead and see what happens.

    i think the key to that description is the "optimus" part, thats what switches from intel hd to the nvidia to save batt.

    try opening the download folder from your internet explorer or google chrome, it probably extracted to the folder it was downloaded to...if it were me, id take the zip file and move it to a new folder on the desktop to keep track easier and delete after extracted and installed

    You should have a folder on your C drive called Nvidia / DisplayDriver with in another folder with the files

    So can anyone confirm as to whether or not this fixes the problem?

    At least they work on the IMO's most stable driver version - 275.33, because 269.37 is just too obsolete.

    It actually extracts to a folder, C:\Dell\Drivers\50MPR\.
    Check there and run setup.exe
