    please help guys, i cannot install driver for 670m in win8 pro, it keep saying failed!
    My 670m is pretty strange, since it cannot install official driver and force me to use mod inf from laptopvideo2go.com, and it works great in 7 (see error message in first image)
    But in 8 i cannot use that trick, the installer keep saying failed no matter what i tried (the second ones)
    Please help :(

    Hi, I recently read that you need to disable 'driver signing' (think that was what it said I can't find it again), or modding the inf will fail. Your second error.

    Anyone?

    Great! I also had the problem with my 675. Once I had used a modded inf the original drivers refused to install without a modded .inf as well :confused:

    Latest WHQL from nivdia was the first one that went through without issue :D
