    I am having 2 strange problems with my system and hope to get some suggestions. I just got my replacement with QX9300 and 280M SLI. When I use the touchpad, it runs normally but when I try to play the Battlefield BC2. I cannot play using touchpad. I can only look up and once it goes up, I cannot look down also some stange issue with the wifi card. When I start my computer, it catches all connection and if I disable and enable wifi card, it says no connection found although there are and this gets solved until I restart my laptop. Any idea?

    For what it is worth, those both sound like software related problems

    Have you made sure that the drivers for both are up to date?

    Yes, I updated all drivers.When I tried playing with touchpad on other FPS, they worked great but it only doesnot work on BF BC2. Now the wifi is working fine. I also needed to know how to get that hybrid option on the taskbar. I need to restart my system everytime to turn on or off 280ms. Its really annoying.

    Did you make sure to do a complete uninstall/driver wipe before you did the re-install? Sometimes if the driver is corrupted and not fully removed you will still have the same problems after.
