    Whaa?? There is no modified inf for 257.30 (the dell drivers). What errors about the card? Can you give the specific errors you are seeing?

    These issues and more are why people need to be careful installing things things willy nilly. Especially so with things just posted to a forum.

    Its not like you can do any real damage anyway.... its just weird because the dell drivers work out of the box with no modded inf needed... because they are dell drivers!

    I restarted the process and was able to get the driver installed. but the error was the same one as i got with the verde driver that needed the inf file. not reading the hardware or whatever.
    Did the driver allow you guys to see all your steam games in the optimus list? not sure if this new driver fixed anything for me.

    So far can't get any drivers to work and don't even know how to start downloading the Dell drivers with their weird download manager. Been using the stock drivers and no complains as of yet. Anyone care to show me the method to download these drivers off Dell?

    Installed the beta driver but it wouldn't work well under any of the games I downloaded. Went back to the original out of the box one and everything works great. Will wait for the final version of these drivers before I try again.

    so can you guys add all your games or do you still have to right click and enable/run the game with gfx on other games. All my games are steam and only 4 show up. they disappear after i add them in the Nvidia control panel.
