Problem with Alienware, GO 7600, and new drivers... - 2006/08/29 18:23
I am a new nVIDIA laptop user, and am trying to update my Alienware m5550's video drivers.
I saw the thread:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index....mp;hl=alienware
and downloaded the appropriate version (87.25) and the modded INF.
HOWEVER, when I run setup.exe in the driver folder, I can NOT get the drivers to install. If I copy the modded INF into the driver folder and over write the original, or even if I DONT, I get the same error message "The nvidia setup program can not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware. Setup wil now exit"
Any suggestions? I have a GO 7600 w/ 256 MB that doesn't preform any better than my ATI x700 in my other laptop, an I suspect it's due my ATI always having the latest Catalyst drivers, and my 7600 being stuck with whatever Alienware sees fit. I'd also like to over clock the 7600 a few MHZ, and the alienware drivers do not allow this, even when adding the coolbits.reg hack.
Thanks guys
