It doesn't work at all. All I get is a black screen.

i think the 185.85 should be working...
you'll need to apply patch and use manual install method to get it work

and as for camera...RM199 wei, what u expect...better the phone camera can liao lo

i think you should do clean install.. total clean install for the driver.. 185.85 should be working fine..

Simple, windows 7 on their default drivers, and then install Dox 195.62 with hybrid graphics. I tried both non-patched and patched dox. It just doesn't work.


I don't know if it matter, but my BenQ is C2D P8700.


I cleaned plenty of times. No go. Last resort, I will format this thing. I have a theory that the Forceware 197.25 I installed messed things up, like profiles and stuff.

195.62 doesnt work on 64bit..

u should try the 185.85.. it should work.. and follow the steps in da forum lah..

i dont think CPU affects anything..

processor doesnt matter AFAIK, u should download driver sweeper first, install it, and then delete the nvidia driver, reboot it in safe mode, and clean the driver off using driver sweeper, after that then u try other version

my experience is that i didnt use driver sweeper before this, and the installation from 185.85 last time keep failing

Haha, I tried 185.85 too, using the same steps. none of you ever had black screen problem?

It's worth mentioning that installing a non-hybrid driver results in nvidia reporting that there are no monitors. Hence, my theory of profile remnants, which can either be removed by hunting it down, or format.


Damn, I swear I'm never gonna get nvidia again for notebooks.


I clean drivers using driver sweeper, using the steps you've mentioned. I'll do more tests before launching my final resort. Oh hey, this might be beneficial to me, I might even be able to carry it to school

the main issue here i think is because there are some left over files from the previous failed installation, and because he didnt clean, some of the issue remained

oh ya, u need to boot in POWER SAVER MODE in 185.85, i cant believe i forgot this....did u do that?

Good point, how do I do that? Set power saves in safe mode and then reboot?

well, in the Windows 7 power mode(that battery icon in ur traybar), you should see "Balanced" and "Power Saver", when u install, i dunno if it affects, but i used to set it to balanced mode, and after u install, DO NOT REBOOT FIRST....just choose the "Power Saver" mode, then only reboot, this is to make sure ur setup boots with intel card, which is required for the driver to work properly, note that this is just a one time process, after taht it doesnt matter anymore what card u boot from...

how about a clean reformat.. and direct installation of 185.85?? thats what i do..

did u get into safe mode and use driver sweeper??

and for the power saver mode.. it means the battery power plan.. put into power saver.

funny is my gf is hunting for a digital camera...
and i show her tat...she is like @#!@$#@%

Well, you can't exactly put it to power savers mode when the whole screen is black, can you?

Anyway, I'm going to try power savers after I'm doing downloading a few drivers. Will try Optimus next, it looks like the key to my problem.

i don mean after restart, i mean, after install, before restart, u switch to power saver, then only restart

How do you guys get the two missing Bus driver to work btw? I assume they're SD card slot and Bluetooth.

if on windows 7, bluetooth module should installs itself..

as for SD card.. isntall the RICOH or what.. it should be in the driver cd given..

and btw..

u mean after installation straight away u get black screen?
