    Hello

    I've got Thinkpad R61 with NV Quadro 140m. Here are the problems :(

    -with original driver from Lenovo (101.29) - when plaing movies in fullscreen mode the screen is blinking. I've seen this problem at the other board but there are no solutions to fix it.
    -with drivers from laptopvideo2go (101.xx) (15x.xx) sometimes the screen is black after opening the lip ( probably some problems with Powermizer) everything else is OK.
    -with drivers from laptopvideo2go (163.1x) function of changing brightness from the keyboard is not working. everything else is OK.

    I'm working on Windows XP Pro SP2

    Have someone an idea about a good driver for this card? maybe somebody know about some changes in driver or NV Control Panel to enable this function of changing brightness?

    Someone have this card or a T61 , R61 with Quadro 140m?

    What drivers do you use?

    Please help..

    thanks in advance

    Hmm that's disturbing. Do those problems also occur under Vista?

    Does anyone else with a 140M running Windows XP have any problems or any of these problems? I know there are people on the board who have that setup as I've seen them post about it.

    I'm using the Nvidia driver version 6.14.11.133. It is an update to the original drivers that came with your laptop I believe. I used System Update to update the drivers so I think you might want to do the same.

    By the way, I'm using XP Pro SP2 on a T61 so there shouldn't have much difference.

    Cheers,
    Nick

    This may seem far fetched but if everything else fails perhaps the video card is defective. It would also be good to know if the problem persists in Vista.

    sorry my mistake - I also use the same drivers as @nickmac.

    @nickmac : have you got some problems with playing movies (xvid, divx) in fullscreen mode ? Blinking only exists with PowerMizer function On in NV drivers.
