    Help!

    I just got my brand new UL80VT-A1, and as usual the first thing I went to do is update my drivers...

    However after I downloaded and installed the latest package ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_195.55.html), the adapter defaulted to '800x600' with stock Win7 drivers and the functionality to switch between graphics modes was lost!

    I rolled back to the Asus provided driver set and everything works, but this is an unpleasant surprise!

    Has anybody had any luck updating the graphics drivers on the UL80VT-A1? This is quite important to me as I do play games and like to have the fixes/improvements provided by the latest driver set - and not only that there are features such as hardware accelerated flash playback that will ONLY work with newer driver sets ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_flashplayer_plus_nvidia.html)!
