    Hey guys, I've had problems with my firsat M14x so I just received a replacement unit from dell after a month of waiting. Overall I think this one is better although my Killer wireless card 1103 still wont let me access Itunes. Bow the biggest problem is when I try to update my Graphics card driver, it tells me that the graphics driver cant find the hardware to upgrade. I can see the NVidia control panel, and when i run Skyrim it automatically runs on high settings, so I know its not running through Intell graphics. Any idea how to fix it?? Thanks.

    What driver version are you trying to install? Because it sound it you're not install the latest driver. For driver that's lower than the 285 series, you need a modded .inf, but there's no reason why you should install those obsolete drivers. And about the error, you might want to uninstall the NVIDIA driver completely and restart and try again.
