DELL! When will we get WORKING drivers for Vista?
So it's been forever since you released the BROKEN FAULTY USELESS BONEHEAD drivers that are available for the go7900GS in my M1710. You advertise this great laptop and the wonderful happy joy funtime of Vista...and then you toss us some drivers that kinda work ok with desktop apps, but if I try and play World of Warcraft, It just reminds me of why I'll not be buying another Dell.
I want drivers that work. Vista has been available to the public for months. You had it for testing LONG before that. There is no excuse for the lack of driver support that is being offered. I paid nearly $3000 for this laptop, I expect it to work as advertised. This is an operating system that DELL offeres on this machine, configured the way I purchased it. I have not removed or modified it in any way. Fix it, or buy it back for what I paid.

Why is everyone using the 2 year old 90.xx drivers ?
101.70 is the current ones for both 32 bit and 64 bit vista no wonder you guy's are having problems.
Dell will obviously have 78.30 or 90.xx but it is not for vista , vista only came in at about 96.xx nvidia.

Well it seems that NVIDIA has finally begun to shell out some decent Vista-based ForceWare drivers, because we have yet another solid release in the new 101.70 ForceWare. What can be said other than this driver seems to be a very solid driver? I'd like to once again extend a thanks to everyone who helps test these MobileForce releases and seek out any (fixable) bugs that are present. We couldn't do it without you. Once again, on behalf of Krayziepop and myself, show those showoff desktop gamers that you really can "play The Game" with your notebook. BOOM!!! HEADSHOT!!!

Yes that is why I gave the links.- No thanks. I hold DELL accountable. If they cannot provide me with drivers then we have a problem. I should not have to download drivers from some site I've never heard of and risk getting some virus or trojan...or worse yet, getting some code that damages my computer.DELL! FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW!

It's a pity I didn't know Dell bought Alienware, I would have just gotten one of their laptops. No need for manufacturer drivers, you just get them from nvidia/ati etc. I feel you guys, the drivers they posted for the m1210 aren't even uploaded to their FTP server, and neither are their updated network drivers. Talk about bull.
