    Hi guys,

    Another issue Im having with my m17x with windows 7 64 bit, is that I can't get external monitors to work. I have updated the MCP79 and nvidia 9400 drivers with the newest available from nvidia but it still doesn't even detect my external monitor on the vga port or my LCD tv on the hdmi port.

    I reload it with windows 7 32 bit and managed to get it to work, but sure there must be some of you running 64 bit with dual display. Running 32 bit is not a solution because I'm not using all my RAM.

    Is anybody using Windows 7 64 bit with external monitors? Where can I get drivers that would actually work?

    Thanks in advance for the help.
