    Hi guys, i found out that ALienware have realeased 176.10 drivers for the m17x (Thanks Daveshia) but, after uninstalling the 177.98 drivers, restarting, driversweeping and Ccleaner then restarting, all my m17x will now do is install the video controller (vga compatible) drivers, I also cannot stop this for some reason...

    Now when I try and install any new Drivers 176.10 or the original 177.98 drivers, it gets half way and then tells me that my system was not modified and if i want to, to re install the drivers.

    At this point it takes about 10 mins for the same message and i'm stumped and kinda stuck with no drivers...

    Any ideas would be very gratefully received...

    OB

    Sorry guys, false alarm.

    I booted into safe mode and tried again, it surprise surprise it worked... i'm now running 176.10 (ALienware Beta) and all seems well... I'll do some testing (gaming lol) and report any problems
