Dell Releases New Nvidia Driver for Lappys!

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13611


Woo woo

It's an official one from dell. Original INF supports 7900gs and stuff.

Check it out.

 

I cant ever get these to work. Where's the INF???

 

Thanks ZMan! With the built-in INF they even turn off the backlight on my E1705 when I close the lid.

Ifish, uncompress the file, and it's named nvdm.inf in the base directory.

 

thanks man! This really solved my problem. Hitman wouldn't work with my driver .85 and now when I updated the driver to .92 it WORKS!!! ...didnt need the mod file since my lappy is supported but I did find out the hard way when I accidentally extracted the .exe to the desktop instead of opening it with winrar, about 150 icons appeared ...anyway thanks once again!

 

I've had my Dell XPS M1210 for two weeks now, everytime I put my laptop to sleep (standby) when I woke it up...the resolution would be all screwed up. I installed the 100.85 drivers and it seems to have fixed the problem. This is my first Dell, I've owned 2 HP products...one dead LCD and one dead MB, seems HP's only last two years in my hands, I hope this little dell does better...then again, I went with the 4 year warranty. Now to install my new MB in my HP and to E-bay it goes...who wants a $2k brick laying around...funny I went from a 17" X6000 to 12.1 machine....I really like the build quality of this Dell, it seems to kick @SS!! BTW...3DMark2001SE went from 10300ish to 11100ish..

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Whoa. They actually released new drivers for XP based laptops??? I'm on this like glue.

 

I want some decent vista drivers ffs.

 

I think vista driver suffers of low performance.

And what about purevideo? How do we enable it?

 

Well for me the drivers just ended up jacking the thing up so i went back....lol maybe i'm missing something

 

LOL i did that too cause my Desktop icons were hidden.

Unhid the stuff and BAM like a brick wall

 

Just so everyone knows.... This appears to fix the issue where the screen does not come back on when you close then re-open the lid. Previously I needed to apply a registry hack to correct the issue but I did not have to do it this time.

 

But these aren't on Dell's site..

 

does anyone have the driver? laptopvid2go is down...

 

OK benna. Where on that website you keep spamming all over the board are the drivers located at?

 

Bump?

I didn't download it when it was up and now it's dead?

 

Their website went down due to a hard drive failure. They said the drivers were unaffected but I think this was one that kinda just disappeared. I had downloaded it before their website went dead so I will upload it onto my own webspace when I go into work tomorrow.

 

i uploaded the one i downloaded onto rapidshare

Does the install include the modded .inf?

 

This install does not require a modified inf file.

From nvdm.inf file

Supported adapters:

Code:

NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0098.2   = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800"
NVIDIA_G71.DEV_0297.1   = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX"
NVIDIA_G71.DEV_0298.2   = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS"
NVIDIA_G71.DEV_0299.2   = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GTX"

its for vista right? i get an error message saying its for win 2000 or xp.

do i need to do something special before the install?

 

No. These drivers are for 2000/XP only.

 

Is this the latest compare from the dell website? If I don't have any issue with my current driver, should I still upgrade it? TQ.

 

These are ahead of the Dell website.

I used the ones posted here and was wondering where the tray icon went.
