    Hey I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting but here goes...

    I recently started experiencing some graphical problems on my T61p when running some games (WAR, Fallout 3). It just happened earlier this week out of nowhere and I tried a system restore which did not help. The graphical problems slow down gameplay at points and sometimes there are random lines and contrasts that appear.

    I've tried to reinstall my driver and first I uninstalled it and cleaned it with CCleaner and Driver Sweeper. I am using a somewhat old custom driver that was posted on this forum a while back that is from laptopvideo2go. The version is 169.28 with the modded inf taken from the post. Anyway, while trying to reinstall it tells me that I am missing some files at the end and I stopped the installation.

    So can anyone help me?

    I have a quadro fx570m card with 32-bit xp.. if any more information is needed I can post

    Thank you very much

    Hey, I did a clean uninstall with driver sweeper and ccleaner and installed it no problem. However my games still experience screen glitches still in which cover the entire screen. I think this is a problem with the driver and my card.
    Does anyone know any good forceware drivers that work well with the fx570m in a t61p? The one I was using before it screwed up was perfect; my computer ran games very smoothly. I do prefer one that changes my settings to a Geforce side driver.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again!
