After that i went to videolaptop2go.com there got many different version but i don't know which version to get and worry to make my laptop display broken. Do you guy know which version can run perfectly to my system? thanks!

    Well, I was going to give you a couple links, but the site seams to be down. (I assume you either have the 8600M GT or the 8400M GS) When it's up, go to the forums and click on the "16x.xx" drivers link.

    I would go with 169.04 drivers, they are pretty rock solid from what I've seen. You can try the 169.09 drivers but you won't notice a difference. You will need to download the modded .inf file. Once you download the driver, unzip it to a folder and then place the .inf file in that folder, when it asks you to replace the current .inf file choose to do so.

    You won't mess anything up with installing one of these drivers, unless you then decide to overclock and get over-zealous. Good luck!
