    On your GPU, there are four screws holding down four silver arms. Remove those screws and slowly lift the GPU heatsink using the white tab.

    The Intel chipset driver, Nvidia graphics driver, Realtek audio driver, and Intel wireless driver should be updated. Google can help you with this. If you need a more detailed walkthrough, I will be back in a few hours to assist you on this.

    Also download the DirectX updater and the Intel Matrix Storage driver.

    The rest of your devices can be loaded from the drivers on the CD and updated by Windows Update. One device cannot be auto installed from the CD and will need to be manually installed. That device is the infrared sensor (ITECIR).

    If you are using Windows Seven, change the compatibility for the autoexec on the driver CD to Vista.

    Sorry, I just got back from driving over 130km in the middle of the night. I'm not in the best condition to be giving tech support right now so please bear with me.

    Intel chipset driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2991&lang=eng

    Nvidia graphics driver: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    Realtek audio driver: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/24364-realtek-audio-codecs/page__view__findpost__p__118637

    Intel wireless driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=3062&lang=eng

    DirectX online updater: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

    Intel Matrix Storage driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101

    Install your camera driver through device manager. Select the camera driver's root directory and have device manager auto install the driver.

    The Intel Matrix Storage driver has the latest drivers for your Intel Turbo Memory card.
