NVidia Driver 285.62

I have an Area 51 ALX, dual NVidia GTX295's. I have long since gone directly to NVidia for drivers. I went from certified driver 280.62 to 285.62, the latest certified driver. This is the first time I had to uninstall the prior version to install the latest which is now working perfectly. I received BSODs when I tried to install over the last version. I wonder why? No worries, this is just a heads up....

    hey there, im runing an m17x with dual gtx 260m's and a Geforce 9400mG , i need to upgrade to 285.62 in order to BF3 but im having issues finding a version higher than 285.38 which is the min required version.  Any ideas where i might be able to find this? And exactly how do you go about uninstalling the previous version?

    Thanks!

    I have not checked my HDMI but since the ALMS racing season is over I will not use it to stream to my TV until next year.

    For now the 285.62  for play of Battlefield 3 and the current batch of games releasing through the end of the year(hopefully)  

    Maybe by then Dell will have released an updated driver. However im not holding my breath lol

    This is what I did before for driver 280.26 and what I will do again for this new one:

    1. Download the requested driver and the modified .inf file.

    www.laptopvideo2go.com/.../disclaimer

    2. Unpack the driver

    3. Replace the .inf file with the modified one you downloaded

    4. Launch the setup and install the driver.

    I'll try this tonight to see if it makes the HDMI connection work.

    What I posted earlier worked.  I can now use my HDMI with my TV.  I am sure it will work for other devices too.  Good luck.
