    I'm a bit handicapped now as I don't have access to a pc. I am replying with my note 2. As far as I can remember u have to cut and paste the .inf file from laptopvideo to the .inf file that came with the driver.

    it doesnt have any of the newer drivers though. do you still have 670mx installed? if yes, maybe it wouldnt be too much trouble if you could attach your inf later? ill have a look if your IDs are same as mine and maybe keep it :)

    You have to download 314.22 from Nvidia then copy the .inf below to the nvwin.inf that you downloaded from Nvidia. Open both file as text.

    http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/win8x64/314.22/disclaimer

    I can't seem to find the attach file option...

    1. Run the driver and extract the files after downloading but do not install.

    2. Click on the download inf link in the above laptopvideo2go link. A page of text will appear. Highlight and copy all the text.

    3. Go to the Nvidia folder that was extracted to your hard drive and look for nvwin.inf. Open as text. Replace all the text with what you copied from laptopvideo2go.

    4. Run the driver from the extracted folder and install this time. This should work.
