    Hey guys, im trying to update my Nvidia drivers and update it to the 280.26 but everytime i execute the driver upgrade and scans my M14 it says it can't find any compatible graphic hardware. I'm still running the old 267.xx drivers. I've been looking over many threads and if anyone has written about this let me know. :confused:

    Yeah, the older drivers you needed a modded .inf file to install it. The newest beta driver installs right away.

    Im currntly playing with 3 alienware systems the M11xR3 the M14x and the M15x and without a dout I have better success with eht 280.26 drivers on all my systems. Yes you need the modded INF unless you download the modded install package. I forgot where I DL'ed them from but I picked up a about 400 points by going back to the 280.26 drivers vs. the new beta.
