    Is it just me or did anyone else who installed XP on this thing experience color distortion and image defects when playing certain types of .avi files?

    What is the newest version of the Nvidia drivers that support the 8400 chipset in this thing? I used the laptop2go video driver.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Nevermind - I played around with drivers and hacked .inf files. I went with Nvidia 163.16 drivers and they seem to work better!

    What hacking did you do? I only found 1 inf file in 163.16. Please help. :-D
