    So i just installed windows 7 on my M17x, and now when i try to open a game, it has a display error. When i try to open world of warcraft, i get an error saying "Failed to find a sutible display device. Exiting program." Im pretty sure this is a M17x issue because wow works fine on my brothers computer with windows 7. How can i fix this?

    Try reinstalling your display driver.
