    Hi, I installed GTA vice city on my M14x it worked fine but the problem is if I set the Nvidia GPU for the game it just wont launch, it start but after the rockstar logo black screen...
    It works well with the intel GPU but there is freezes sometimes and some effects slowdown the game so it's quite annoying, someone have the game to tell me if it works on your m14x?

    EDIT: Problem solved by installing the 295.51-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-beta driver.

    No GTA IV works fine for me only, vice city and san andreas do that (and probably GTA III)
