    Usually laptopvideo2go had an INF file that I could use but now they when I try to download their INF, I get some weird text crap. How can I use it with the good old "have a disk" method to install new drivers?
    thx in advance

    Looks something like...?

    The "weird text crap" is the INF.

    Click File > Save Page As.... In the File Type drop-down list select All Files then save the file as "nv_disp.inf". The quotes are important as they "force" the file to be saved with the INF extension. (You can always edit the extension later if you forget and the extension is changed to TXT or HTML during the save.)
