    Dox 182.05 install question

    To begin, I have read the FAQs on Laptopvideo2go, as well as NBR and I consider myself a power user (10+ years in IT sector). However, I am having a heck of a time to get the Dox 182.05 drivers for Vista 64bit to install.

    I have a nVidia 9500M (9200M GS and 9400M in Hybrid SLI). When installing other drivers individually, the hardware is shown as a 9200M GS and MCP79MX (this is the 9400M integrated chipset). I am running Vista 64.

    If I unzip the Dox package and run the install on a "driver clean" machine, it says my graphics card is not supported. Understandable. Downloading a modded inf from Pieter's 182.05 drivers and then inserting the two MCP79MX lines into the Dox inf allows the proper driver to show up for the 9400M integrated (MCP79MX), but then when I select it it says "This driver is not made for Windows Vista". I can get around the whole thing by unchecking "only show supported hardware" and manually selecting 9400M G instead, and upon reboot it shows driver version 182.05 for the 9200M GS as well (it seems to automatically install them), but I don't feel that these are optimal when other driver packages contain the MCP79MX and the 9400M separately (indicating two close but different configurations) and when the 9400M does not show up as "supported hardware".

    Any advice on how I can get the Dox drivers to install "out of the box" using the installation program, or at least get the MCP79MX ("supported hardware") to install without an error?

    Thank you,
    -Aaron
