Guest Franco of NJ Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hey guys, I have the same problem as everyone else. I installed the lastest version of DirectX and I can't get past the cinematic screen. Since Video card updates have to be downloaded through the HP site, they seem to wait for it to go retail (the one needed from Nvidia is beta right now if i am not mistaken) Does this mean I'm just screwed and have to wait?

cminglap Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 The main problem is that nvidia didn't make a 8600M GS supported driver right now..........damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Franco from Jersey Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I got this from another site and found it worked - Best of luck: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=43814 " Going back to the Windows 95 days, this is how it was done. My laptop is currently using desktop drivers, yes that is correct desktop drivers. I have an Nvidia Geforce 8400m GS, the drivers for the M (meaning mobile) are 6/15/2007. However you can trick the laptop into using 8400 GS (dekstop) the drivers are 8/17/2007.
