Hi,
I have an XPS M1530 and a Dell 2407WFP Monitor. I have Windows 7 x64 installed fully updated through Windows Update.
The Symptoms are as follows:
When i connect the monitor using a HDMI to DVI cable the monitor instantly goes into powersaving mode. I have not used it for a while but it used to work! I checked the nVidia control panel and it was showing the monitor as connected and i could access all of the options, but the monitor was in standby.
so i bought another cable thinking my cable may have been damaged somehow, but when i connected the new more expensive cable it did exactly the same thing, I started thinking my monitor was broken.
I went back to the shop and got an S-VHS cable connected that up and my monitor came on so the monitor works, although it is running at S-VHS quality, which sucks!
So my monitor works, my graphics card works as it is picking up the monitor, also when i connected the S-VHS lead nVidia control panel told me "you can only have 1 external display connected at a time, please select the connection to use" then gave me an option of turning off the S-VHS or the HDMI!
Please can someone help, it is so frustrating, everything works, but the HDMI will not turn my monitor on!
Thanks

Does anyone know if this will work with a GT330M? I'm having some trouble with the driver provided by Toshiba...
Try using the modded INF file

Doesnt work at all on my system. The default standard VGA graphics driver loads up and when I attempt to force the nvidia driver it fails. I have tried with the modded INF file and I have also tried a few 3rd party tools and even tried to modify the INF myself.

Has anyone had an instance where after installing this driver 2d desktop video rated a 1 on the windows index? It rated a 7.1 on the games part though.... kinda weird that game performance is off the chart for me but normal windows activity is poopy. Aero is no where to be found...

After reading this thread I can only conclude that it is better to keep as far away as possible from these drivers.

Not at all. I've been fairly satisfied with this driver.

I had no problem with 8700M GT SLI but when I upgraded to 9800M GTX SLI I could not get these drivers running as I was getting BSOD when I tried to enable SLI or booted with external monitor connected
this also applies to .21 and new .75 drivers, so I had to go back to 195.62 for notebooks..
I guess that 9800M is more sensible to these drivers, but I never had any problems with 8700M
