    ok i uninstall my old ones and installed the new ones and now my games play really good. but now my hd dvd won't play it says that something else is using my video card. so i just installed the factory drive and everything is good my hd dvd plays fine and my games play still but not as smooth. i was woundering if anyone knew of a fix for that so i can have my games run smooth and have my hd dvd work.

    The only way I could get it to work with the newer drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com for me was to buy the retail version of WinDVD HD/BD version for $69.99 from Intervideo, the only thing I cannot get the audio to play over the HDMI when playing movies on my Sony Bravia 46" LCD TV, but otherwise it works just fine.

    Other users (including Inkjammer) have mentioned that problem as well. Download and install the drivers from Toshiba's website listed for the 205-sli notebooks, and then you should be able to play games and use the hd dvd drive.
