    you have to only install the Sony Drivers from the website.

    it seems the generic Intel ones mess up the light sensor.

    you need to download the video and then the updated video drivers from sony's website

    if you did install from intel your screen may stay in dimmed mode and not come out of it

    What should I do if I have already installed the Intel dirver? How to uninstall it and install the Sony driver again? The driver link is post on the push2TV site and I went there and install it, it still give me problems. The problem is push2tv only works for about an hour, then suddenly the sound will be gone and sometimes the video is gone too. Please help.

    i havent tried push to tv, for me I spent the whole night, didnt get to bed till 6am to figure out how to install and not have it force the dimmer.

    I did a clean install when I installed them. I posted a how I did a clean install on a earlier post.

    I havent tried the wireless hdtv, as to me its not that cool. and I like direct cable to get 1080p

    i just installed the drivers none of the apps, they caused to many headaches. now its running sweet and fast no issues yet for what I use it for. plus I don't get the screen flicker when i plug or unplug my power.

    I did go to the gateway site for the nv59 and downloaded the turbo boost driver and also the widget.
