M1730 with 8700 GT Nvidia Drivers

I tried to update my drivers to the 175.32 drivers and when I did I never got windows to initialize the video on boot past the green bar of VISTA Ultimate.  now for the crazy part.  I plugged the Laptop into the power source and low and behold the video started fine on a fresh boot.  What the heck is going on.  Has anyone seen this before?

    Those video drivers are known to cause that problem. Search the forums and see if you can find a tread that has the links for updated drivers for you.

     

    Nevermind, I did a quick search. Here's a tread to look at:

    There are loads of far newer drivers available on LaptopVideo2Go.

    I downloaded/installed the latest ones (v177.98 - dated 7th September) just the other day myself.
    Just remember to download the modded INF file as well, and copy it into the main folder (after you've decompressed the main drivers file), before you start the installation routine ;)
