    I recently upgraded my video drivers on my 9500t 8600gs with drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ and now I have a weird problem. When I connect to an external monitor via the vga port the picture comes in only black and white. I tried it on my tv also same thing. The HDMI works fine it's just the vga. Any suggestions other than rolling back the driver because the new drivers are excellent. These were the drivers nVIDIA ForceWare X 169.25 for Windows Vista 64bit http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16546

    I had a similar thing on my desktop with the 163.** drivers (i think). TV would only output in black and white through the s-video. Have the latest drivers now and it seems to have been fixed
