After installing nTune and restoring my clock rate back to default it actually went back to Automatic Fan. Same BIOS also.

OK my driver recommendation: if you are running a similar setup like me, you may have noticed with the 169 drivers, UAC takes forever to render if you are in vista basic with the aero that isnt translucent. I've tried every thing down to 156 and the highest driver I could get to work properly was the 156 series. So either use these, or turn the mode into vista basic and you can use UAC without long waits.

From a security standpoint, I have to politely disagree with whitetiger on turning off UAC, due to the fact that it disables protected mode in IE7 and allows everything to run with full priveledges. I would recommend leaving it on.

Installed with the new inf, it works so I assume its good.

IE can still be ran without using plugins or other software using a separate start-up link in the Start Menu. Either that or use FireFox/Seamonkey or Opera. Personally I use Seamonkey.

UAC from a tweaking stand point is a redundant feature to the existing Runtime Protection which still asks if you want to run software in Windows. UAC also makes driver installation and file management a pain as you have to agree or disagree with ever command you make. Runtime Protection is all you really need, along with a good anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall software package.

Yeah but without plugins you lose half the point of the internet. I prefer IE7 to those choices because of its clean interface (in Vista) but its up to you guys if you want it on. The reason its on mine is protected mode, but whatever.

Ok I did this modification awhile back and was just reading up on this thread and noticed there is a new driver. My specs are HP Pavilion dv6308nr dual 1.8 with a integrated geforce go 6150. Problem is I cant remember what driver I downloaded with your INF. So if there is a newer version please point me in that direction .
Thanks

Using the latest one of your drivers. I have a hp dv2533tx with a 64mb 8400m gs.

The colour settings such as digital vibrance and the saturation settings do not change. I can move the sliders and it flickers to the setting I change it to but goes straight back to defualt.

Im the same guy as above with the colour problem.
Actually your inf wouldnt even work, it said that the driver was found but is not vista compatible, I have vista 32 bit.

Did you make sure you deleted the nv_disp2.inf already included with the drivers?

Yes I deleted the orginal, I ended up using the lv2g inf and it installed properly but the digital vibrance and video settings arent changable.

What is the most recent driver with your inf for Geforece Go 6150? Ive done your mod a while ago and was wondering if there has been any change. I play mostly world of warcraft and its gotten bad graphics again for some odd reason. So what is the most recent driver with inf that will help?

Please read the initial posting for details to what you need the INF I publish is only for a singular driver set. Can you post screenshots (thumbnailed please) of what you are encountering and what you mean by "bad graphics"?

I've tried the mod .inf using the 169.09 driver.

I'm on a HP pavilion tx1000 (tx1030la to be more precise) with a nvidia geforce 6150 go.

Everything seems to be working fine with the exception of the UAC long black screens. anybody has found a solution for that? Honestly I don't wan to disable UAC.

Issues regarless UAC on or off:
- When I log into windows (username and pass) it takes a pretty long time before I see my desktop (kindda black screen)
- When I run a program that would have asked for confirmation with UAC, it takes a *long* time to show up (the same black screen) ... though, not always (still haven't had the time to experiment in other situations).
- Also, I have the feeling that prior the first windows vista logo (when you turn on your laptop) there is another black screen that wasn't there with default drivers.

Thanks for your hard work!!!

I just instaled latest driver and moded inf on my tx1000 and all worked fine - same issues as previous post.
UAC looks even funier with HDTV connected - the laptop screen turns pink when UAC does that dark overlay:)
When I connect my hdtv thru the composite cable I don't see the different hdtv resolutions - i.e. 1080i, 720p, 720i and so on in nvidia control panel.
The driver update form MS added those (hd res) when I downloaded it few days ago. I was thinking that I can get 1080p with the newest driver.
What setting in the inf or anywhere else I should change to get the list of resolutions for the TV - I really care about 1080p - not sure even if 6150Go supports it.
One more thing video mirroring - how to? I know that nvidia disabled that for Vista. I get it on my XP laptop and I love it since I don't have to drag windows around and watching hd streaming content from instance abc.com is much better since I don't have the controls of their player visable. Not to mention that it's dvi->hdmi connection and I get 1080p. I can tell the difference, but found the digital color vibrance whcih makes 1080i(component) looks as colorfull as 1080p via dvi.
When I get home I'll try to play NvTweak app - I saw something in the menus about modify inf.

The screen goes black for a few moments due to a REQUIRED stability setting currently active on all my releases called ModeSetBlankDelay. This is a preventative setting to ensure your graphics card does not crash during the loading and uploading of the graphics memory buffer and the buffers are cleared before new visual elements are rendered.

As for UAC, the UAC feature is a redundant feature of Vista to the feature called Windows Program Access feature. Basically this same application asks for your permission to run executable binaries the same way UAC does without the excess interaction and system stopping. Overall UAC can be safely disabled without harming the security of your computer.

I have the same issue with my laptop (v6000Z w/ GeForce 6150) with the higher drivers. I tried a bunch of drivers, and the highest one I can get to work properly (UAC coming up instantly) is the 156.55 series with whitetiger's inf. Driver ( http://forums.laptop...showtopic=14837 ) I agree with you, I wouldn't disable UAC either.
