    hi guy, I am having trouble with a driver, I want to install the 175.63 but when I start the setup it looks like its installed and asks to restart the laptop, I restarted it and when I look on ntune it has the old one! :mad:

    Have you got the latest inf file from laptopvideo2go as the old versions had a problem with the 8800M GTS entry. Also try installing manually through device manager rather than running the setup.

    make a search on "have disk method"

    actually installing the video driver is such a common question around here
    how about a finding a good thread and "sticky" it ?

    My intentions are not to hijack the thread, but it would probably be better than starting a whole new one.
    QUESTION: GW in no shape or form supplies new or updated Vid Card Drivers themselves? We the customers must always resort to putting these drivers ourselves thru other sites? Is this common amongst other Laptop/Notebook manufacturers?

    Yeah most mainstream manufacturers only update their drivers if there is a problem etc - rarely for performance boosts. Dell is terrible for example.
