    Right, so after reinstalling Win XP (SP3) on my MBP, I'm back to the default Apple video drivers for BootCamp and it's... weird: I have an external 22' display and now Windows doesn't let me set it as the primary display (checkbox is grayed out) and most of the options in the nVidia Control Panel are disabled.

    I'm guessing it's because of the video drivers and hence my question: of the whole bunch of versions available at laptopvideo2go, which one would you recommend? I have heard newer releases getting worse performance than older ones sometimes. So, which one should I get?...

    I have the 2.2 GHz version (8600GT with 128MB) model.

    Thanks!
