Using the Official Forceware v84.63 with GeForce Go 7400

[Guest Guest]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but can I use the official 84.63 driver from nvidia for the Geforce Go 7400 or do I need the modded INF version found on this site?

Modded INF required

Just the modded INF? I already downloaded the official 84.63 driver found on the link below.

Ifr your card doesn't show up in the original Inf, you have to copy the modded Inf over the original.

(didn't bother to check, but aren't the official drivers just for go7800/7900?)

######... why would you want to play with exotic drivers when your OEM offers 84.69? What's wrong with Dell official driver?

There are a lot of people out there dreaming of having an OEM that releases drivers for their mobile GPUs... and they end up installing LV2Go drivers. Dell offers a very good driver that fully support your hardware... but you refuse to use it.

Dell only offers the 84.69 driver as an update on their "Drivers and Downloads" site. For your information, this driver does not work with my laptop (XPS M1210 w/256MB GeForce Go 7400), as NO game will launch.

Right now I'm using the 84.29 driver that came on the disc Dell shipped to me (and looking for a reliable update).

Yeah, I know I need to copy over the modded INF over the original. My question was do I need to download this: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/80series/8463.exe; instead of the official setup files from nvidia?

Sorry for the double post - connection problems.

You can use the official nVidia files if you want but the one here has all the useless files removed so it's a smaller download.
