mobilenvidia Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Your original/latest AW drivers can be found here ftp://www.alienware.com/Mobile/m5500/ Try the Video driver, if there is no lag then a certain tweak might be needed for you setup.

mobilenvidia Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Try using Drivercleaner to get rid of all the files that stay behind even after an uninstall (there are lots) Uninstall driver, then reboot to safemode run drivercleaner reboot and install new driver.

Bill Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I addition to uninstalling your audigy, turn sound settings to low/off and try disabling your sound card(s) from the control panel. That will then rule out a sound problem if you still have stuttering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
