    Can you not download from Toshiba or nVidia or get it off your disks?

    Are you getting that 'no drivers found for your hardware' message when you try and install the drivers from Nivdia?

    Why would you update the drivers when you just bought it today? If it's not broken, don't fix it.

    Roll back the driver for the video card. You should be fine after that.

    heyy. i have an m40 too. it seems like nvidia doesnt have official drivers for their mobile solutions. u must get them from ur notebook brand/manufactorer. u can get it at toshiba. BUT. unfortunately toshiba hasnt realli released any updates to the drivers. so 71.70 is stil the latest official drivers for the m40. go check out laptopvideo2go though. they may work. and if you download from laptopvideo2go you have to download both the exe and the inf files. to apply/install the drivers you have to go to display properties>settings>advanced>adapter>properties>driver>updatedriver . and select install from a specific location. but these laptopvideo2go drivers may be digitally unsigned. rmb to set a restore point first just in case. =P. :centrino:

    I was the same as u..... but just so you know, mobile cards (video cards made for laptops) are NOT the same as desktop cards, they are much more pickier and IMO less configurable. The newer drivers are usually released by other people and are untested. I ran into much more problems than anticipated so i reinstalled everything from the Toshiba factory CD and all is fine.

    If you really want the top performance, get a notebook cooler or put your laptop in a cool room with air conditioning, and download NVTweak which enables the nVidia power settings and you can overclock your card for extra FPS. I cranked mine to something like 650/350 and pwned the Radeon X700, bwahahaha.

    If your DVD-drive is set in the wrong region, you may also have to reset it to Region 1 (for the US) to play DVDs sold in the US.
