    You need to delete the Windows drivers that are installed from the Device Manager.

    Best way to do it is to download 186.xx drivers off laptopvideo2go with the modified INF and to manually force install through the device manager. I don't think the alienware CD drivers support your video card. That's what I did for my 3700m and it works great.
