sn0wl Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You are at the right place. First you can install any driver in 70 or 80 series drivers (don't go below those since you have a FX card). All you need is before installing any driver, replacing the INF file with a Modded INF file. Read FAQ sections for info What is a modded INF? - http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=8128 Instructions on how to install drivers. - http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=33 And for the driver, as FX series card 70 series driver would be well, but if you want to go with latest I can recommend you 84.25, the nVidia latest: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=9175 All needed instructions are there.

sn0wl Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Um, okay then ... Download this: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/80series/8425.exe When done double click and extract. It should create a folder named '8425'. After that download this INF file: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/infs/80serie...nf/nv4_disp.inf and copy it to 8425 folder. If you have succeeded, you should see file replacement confirmation dialogue. Replace the file and run Setup.exe in the folder to complete your installation and restart your computer. If somehow Setup fails to install, use the method explained here to install the driver manually: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telfair Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 You mean, Save link as? and once I do that, than what do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0wl Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yes that should be it if you are using Firefox. If you have extracted driver, copy that file to the 8425 folder and replace the old file, then run Setup.exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
