    hi, i was reluctant to update my drivers from laptopvideo2go (i used the 167 driver for my 8700m GT) but enough people informed me to do it so i did... now my tf2 game is all wacked out. the colors are off, textures flash, game freezing up for 15 seconds at a time...

    i dont know what to do now :(

    Yes go to 163.75, they are the best drivers for the orange box.

    What he said. 163.75 rocks - I've been using 'em for a few weeks now without issue, and they include specific fixes/improvements for the Orange box.

    167.26 are unofficial (not even Beta) and extremely buggy. Everybody (desktop users included) are having problems with texture flashing in TF2 and all kinds of other stuff with the 167.26 drivers.

    Edit: If you have a Restore Point, use that, else use Driver Sweeper to clean out the bad ones and install the 163.75's.
