    I've uninstalled, safe mode driver sweep my display drivers and install managers. I'm on latest BIOS by Alienware.

    I'm trying to install official M17 Display Driver 8.63.09 by Alienware for my new 4870/4850 cards (confirmed correct vBios by seller).

    However the setup does not detect my hardware so i cannot install the display drivers. manual install does not work either (browsing to folder and selecting the inf file)

    How do I get around this problem? I need these Display Drivers to install.
