    This site has modded inf files so the latest desktop drivers work on the mobile chips, the only thing that normally stops the desktop drivers from installing is a file that defines the cards supported, there is no actual difference in the driver itself.

    The laptopvideo2go site is back up, just get the latest 169 driver along with the modded INF file. No, the desktop drivers will not work straight off. Read the stickies before posting a new thread next time, please.
