    What is up brother. R u from the motherland (Ukraine/ Russia), cause u have the same first name as me.
    Now please don't use the word "mijiggy". Go into detail: like what laptop r u using and what drivers, where u got them, did u uninstal the previus drivers, did u restart ur computer, etc.

    P.S. it's not a great idea to use your full name publicly, just looking out for a comrade. :D

    I think you uninstalled the old drivers first? If so, yes your gfx card will dissappear from the Device Manager. All you do is hit Detect New Hardware. Then, double-click on whatever is under Display Adapters...it doesn't matter.

    Do it like you would normally do it...

    Good, make sure you are using 162.18 drivers because they are the best.
    Yeah, I saw that he was in toronto but his last name sounds Ukranian. Besides, I know some ppl who live in Canada and the Russ. population there is adequate for my speculations.
