    Hey check out www.laptopvideo2go.com

    You can find all flavors of drivers there with modded INF's to install on your bootcamp partition.

    The latest are 177.39 or something like that.

    Just wondering, how come you needed that specific driver version?

    Havn't been in a situation where I needed an exact version before.

    its nvidia's latest released drivers.

    the drivers on laptopvideo2go are all leaked drivers, the nvidia official releases are usually a bit more optimized.

    in this case, nvidia specifically included shader tweaks and optimizations in 175.19, which they released officially a few days ago.

    did you bother to read the faq on laptopvideo2go?

    :)

    i dont think we can sum it up better than that.

    Unzip drivers
    copy new ini into folder
    run setup.

    omg, i need tech support :)

    kgeier82, those instructions will only work if they have the modded inf on their site.

    If they dont, which in this case they dont, then obviously you can follow those instructions.

    Everything isn't as simple as it may seem ;p

    They said you could use the modded INF 179.16 driver set. Might give that a try.


    Cheers

    By that, do you mean you used the old inf's?

    If you solved your issue, help out the rest of us.

    i'm a little new to the whole nvidia driver situation, how do I get the 175.19 driver from nvidia's site? I couldn't actually find it.

    never mind I got it, thanks for the post about those .infs
