    crashes at startup. Black screen, have to go to the task manager to get out.

    I downloaded the latested video drivers from the Toshiba site, but it just puts tha same 156.64 drivers on that came with it. I've tried with Sli on and off.

    Please help. Computer is totally worthless if it won't run Bioshock.

    btw, found some of the modified inf drivers, but not one that will install on the 8600m

    Install the latest DirectX from microsoft.com. That fixed it for me.

    hey, that did it. Thanks.

    One more thing, this is my first Sli computer. How do you get rid of the green "sli bar" on the left side during the game??

    when you go to the nvidia control panel, there's an option to "show SLi visual indication"... look at the top, click 3D settings, and its right there, next to view
