    I recently went in to Device Manager in Control Panel and took a look at my nvidia driver had an error. I went ahead and found the 263 series for my m11xr1 driver and installed it upon finishing I restarted my computer and the driver was still missing. I only managed to get it once in a few tries but after a little while it keeps coming up with an error. Do you guys know what the problem might be? Or is there a later version driver for m11xr1

    Did you properly uninstall the older version?

    Uninstall via Control Panel and reboot In Safe Mode (press F8 after the BIOS screen) and chose Safe Mode.
    Run CCleaner a couple of times to clean your registry.
    Reboot and install your new drivers choosing advanced mode and select perform clean install.

    Doesn't it switch to integrated giving you the impression of the driver 'gone missing'?

    Do you see the nVidia drivers in the uninstall programs list in Control Panel? If you do, follow what I said above!
