    So I'm running in to issues with WoW with the recent patch and I have been trying to trouble shoot it for the last few days. Blizzard wants me to update my video drivers the only problem is when i try to do that from the nvidia website, my m15x wont recognize the drivers - so now I'm kind of lost on what to do, I did a little research on custom drivers but it was a little confusing. Anyway, any advise guys? Thanks in advance

    Video card may be useful - GeForce 8700M GT

    Im sorry to report by the latest driver you can utilize is the 186 nvidia driver. There is a concflict with the Area 51 m15x bios and any nvidia driver published after 186.
