    Lo all,

    Just reinstalled to figure out ill need official drivers for my blu-ray software/player to work. So i ask you (the americans with a fully functioning myhive) if you could provide me with aw's newest driver for the 8800gtx, as 169.77's the newest for me.

    Annoying as it is, lv2go's drivers wont work with blu ray and its a pain in the arsenic.

    Anyways thanks in advance
    Tom

    I'm not too sure if they have released anything newer than 169.77. The only one they have is 167.55 and 175.80b. Might want to keep in mind these drivers are 32-bit, so it's most likely not going to work with Vista 64.

    I'll provide you a link anyway, but I do recall someone here saying there was a working driver version that works with Blu-ray. I'll look for it when I get home tonight (I'm at a relative's house having Thanksgiving dinner at the moment.)

    Anyway, here's the link for the AW 8800M GTX drivers. Like I said earlier, keep in mind these are for 32-bit Vista as they do not currently support 64-bit Vista.

    Ah-- here we go. Just got home. I'm not too sure if this applies to the m15x, but I found these:

    ..or this? A thread you replied to in the past-- found that one too.

    Thanks for the replies matey,

    I tried the 'Nvidia Mobility Modder' to no avil which is annoying beforehand thats why i asked but i still cant find a driver thats good to go.. so if anyone else has blu ray (on x64) with a nice working driver let me know.

    Sry to resurrect the same type topic thats always brought up, its just a pain having blu ray and not being able to use it :)

    Thanks again
    Tom
