korhan Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi, I have a Toshiba X205 with vista 32bit Ultimate (GeForce 8700M GT), and when I go to play Gears of War, I get this message that warns me. ******************************************************************************** *********** To run Gears of War with your current hardware setup, you must install the following software of updates: + NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 Driver If you do not install this software, at some point the game will stop ans your progress will be lost. ******************************************************************************** *********** Now I have gone to Toshiba's site for an upgrade, but they don't have this version. I also went to NVIDIA's website and it told me to go to Toshiba's website. I just need help on where to find the driver for this and how to install it. Thanks in advance. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat geek Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 use the latest driver 169.04. If the program won't install complaining about not supported graphics card or some message like that then apply the modified inf file and it should work.

wille3 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I don't want my PC to crash or anything cause I tried installing a driver to play Gears of War (I got the same message) so my question is: does this really work, and if not will it ruin my PC again? I just got it back today from installing the wrong driver, so please let me know A.S.A.P. Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirandrew214 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 You wont ruin your pc with installing these drivers. If it doesnt work, just restart in safe-mode, and reinstall one that works, or do a driver-fallback. Regards, SirA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download it here http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=16311 Download the driver and the modded .inf in this page. Extract the file to a folder called 16745_vista on the desktop (create it) and then add the modded .inf file to that folder (should replace the one already in there. then run the setup file in the folder and the driver was install.
