    I used the exact same drivers before clean install and these worked without a hitch, but now after clean installing vista, I updated the drivers, it asks to reboot and when I do, I get BSOD after the moving bar of microsoft vista. Now I could try laptopvideo2go drivers, but question is it worked before clean install on same hardware, why is it causing trouble now??
    Please Help.

    Probably a conflict with another driver or software.
    Do you have a Minidump folder, in the Windows directory ?

    I did another clean install using a different Vista DVD and this time it installed without problems.
