LuI3 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi, I'm currently using a Dell XPS M1730 with sli 8800GTX cards with a Blu-ray Burner drive. Was using the standard dell graphic card drivers for awhile and blu-rays worked as fine as they can be but games i play such as World of Warcraft suffered from major glitches like every 5 secs my screen would pause. Upgrading to driver version 180.84 Vista, my World of Warcraft is running very smooth as it should be with my current setup. Only issue i'm having now is that my blu-rays dont play at all anymore because my player is saying that i dont have the correct graphic drivers. I'm sure a lot of Dell XPS users have or have had these same issues, so i'm just wondering if there is a workaround to getting this to work right. I've searched all over the net but have found no solutions to my problem Any advice is good advice, thanks people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 You need a WHQL certified one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phnx Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 But as soon as you use a modded inf, it breaks the whql, so use the driver search function and find the latest whql driver that supports your card natively. That's the only way to legitimately get blu-ray working unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 it is NOT about WHQL, it is about the modded inf made on this site, they are the cause of the bluray or hd-dvd not playing, to get it working, just add the device id and name to the ORIGINAL inf came with the driver package, then install it. it will still say not WHQL, but it works!

wook Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Both Claw and morris are quite right. Modifying an inf file by tweaking settings and making performance higher than the driver usually is, also cancels out blueray support. So using a WHQL driver will always let you use bluray as nothing has been changed (its like a warantee seal on a device), and adding your ID to the list in an INF file will still let you use bluray.
