    Hi people,

    this is my last hope so perhaps one of you might be kind enough to help me. I need to have a modded inf for 175.64 (from ASUS official website). I am using the 32 bit version of Windows Vista btw. I have already asked the folks at laptopvideo2go but nobody was able to help.

    175.64 is the best driver for my Asus G1s, but it doesn't have all the custom resolutions so every time I play Fallout 3, the game always in the letter box format (with "huge" black borders surrounding the image).

    I tried to mod the driver myself but every time I went into the installation process it just bypassed the entire thing and restarted the laptop, nothing happened.

    Can anyone help me please? Newer version of the laptop drivers (above 175.64 no longer supports the G1s sleep mode trick that causes every game to stutter badly due to high temperature even with the powermizer disabled).

    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply. The program was indeed nice but when I tried to play Fallout 3, all of the resolutions were missing from the graphic options and the only thing selectable was 1680 x 1050 which caused massive lag during gameplay.

    Can anyone else help? Thanks

    Can't you just create custom resolutions through the Nvidia Control Panel?

    I think that feature is disabled in Windows Vista... I read about this a while ago that XP users can still do it but not Vista users. But hey... if you know how to do it please let me know.

    Thanks
