    This is the only driver that I changed since I got the laptop. I was reading on another forum about 169.25 version driver and SP1 upgrade not working... Did you have to remove laptopvideo2go drivers before attempting the SP1 upgrade??? Should I do that??

    I dont think its neccessary. I went to SP1 with the standalone installer using 169.04

    SP1 runs way better on a clean system though. Im not saying you should do a clean install but consider it in the future...

    1) All your stuff will stay the same. SP1 is just a big pack of updates.

    2) Stable drivers can vary gpu to gpu and system to system

    Currently im using 169.04 because its the last driver that lets you OC. You will have to try out other drivers by yourself

    I liked 169.25 a lot. I was on 169.09 for many days as flip had recommended them to me. They were very good. The latest 17x.xx drivers are very choppy its seems when it comes to 8400 GS Cards! Personal experience.
