    Hey guys! So I want to try new video drivers on my m1730 (dual 8800's), but I've never been able to get them to work. I've gone to Laptopvideo2go, downloaded the driver, dropped the modded .inf into the folder, and installed it. But it nevers works right. I've had messages ranging from "the driver is already up to date", to "no driver can be found", to "there was a critical error and the device has been disabled". Those aren't verbatim, but that's the gist. The best result I've gotten so far was having one 8800m appear in the device manager list (albeit with a little yellow advisory icon), so with two cards... that doesn't help me.

    Is there a common mistake I could be making? I'm new to this so I could be overlooking something. Thanks in advance for any help!
