    So I've been messing around with the .inf file and I can't seem to get the graphics driver to go through completely. I'm able to get past the System check but it fails during the install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Nevermind I figured it out. Thanks anyway; Here's the file if anyone else needs it. This is for Windows 7 431.60. Just copy and paste into Display.Driver after extracting the Driver contents downloaded straight from Nvidia.

    Or here are the lines to copy and paste yourself for future updates. Cheers.

    DEVICE ID FOR ALIENWARE

    Paste under [Manufacturer]

    %NVIDIA_DEV.13D8.02A2.1028% = Section011, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D8&SUBSYS_02A21028

    Paste under [STRINGS]

    NVIDIA_DEV.13D8.02A2.1028 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M"
