Probably want to do these steps 1st...

Uninstall the current driver.

Reboot to safe mode.

User drivercleaner or driversweeper and remove the old nvidia files.

Reboot.

Then...

Extract the laptopvideo2go archive file.

Copy the nv_disp.inf file to the extracted install folder.

Optionally copy the physx driver to the extracted install folder (never tried this though).

Run the setup.exe there.

you can check control panel-programs and feature to see if installed or start-all programs-nvidia corp-physx properties

O.K. Installed

This driver is great a HUGE improvement over 177.41..

3dmark score went up 300-400 pts,

Temps dropped about 10'C (YES 10'C from 62'C to around 53'C )

IQ is far better

physX is cool too!!

I LOVE THESE DRIVERS!

8800MGTX!

Hi,

I have lost my installed games from the list "manage individula 3d seetings" panel after installing 178.13

even adding a game from the list does not solve the problem

Any idea to birng them back ???

Does this problem causes quality decrease in nvidia supported games ???

Thanks in advance

:)

Hello,

I have a 9600M GT, with the latest drivers 178.13 I can t read the blu ray since.

Also, the drivers on the site are 40MB while on the nvidia site they weigh 127Mo, do you know why?

sorry for my english. thanks.

When I shutdown my vista 64 ultimate, My programs shutdown, My logout screen background shows up with "Please Wait" for 2 seconds... my desktop comes back on for another 2 seconds and then it shutsdown normally like it used to do (goes to shutdown screen("Logging off" and then "shutting down"). It seems to be a driver problem or a vista bug. I have vista SP1. I used to have the ACER 174.31 and they worked fine, didn't have this issue with them. I have noticed that some drivers like this one do this. Why is that? is there a fix to it??????

Nice driver though, i got a Geforce 7300 GO and I get 4.0 Aero and 3.5 Graphics score on vista :)
