    Well, it finally happened. My online game has updated to the 21st century and now needs to have better video drivers to properly play the game (EvE Online - Trinity).

    I've spent the past hour trying to find the correct information on how to get newer drivers on this Inspiron e1705. I found the website LapTopVideo2Go.com, but I can't seem to find any information on how to use their drivers. I downloaded the latest version (16913) and ran the setup, but it returned a "Could not find any drivers that are compatible with your hardware."

    The drivers on the Dell website are form 2005 and worthless to update to.

    I saw some reference to the .inf file, but to be honest I have no clue about that.

    Any kind soul willing to try to walk me thru what I need to do to get my fix?

    Thanks,
    Phil
