    Connected the egpu. Powered on my lenovo T400, entered the 1.x setup. Performed PCI compaction, a reset of the hot link location (something like that) and chainloaded windows 7. As soon as windows loaded all the colors were messed up, the resolution set at 640 x 480 and could not be changed, generally you could tell that no drivers were installed. Tried to install drivers from Nvidia, got an error that said that I don't have the graphics hardware required for this setup. I tried reinstalling everything and windows update to install some drivers which now get the card to show in the device manager as GTX 460 (which is the one I have). All this on my laptop monitor, not the external one. I can't get the setup to work. Any help is welcome, I'm getting desperate.

    I think the key is to download the mobile drivers and mod the inf file to include the string for your graphics adapter. The instructions should be available here.
