Thanks for the link. There are also 175.32 drivers for XP at this link. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_n...5.32_whql.html
The XP drivers work fine on my e1705 with 3950GTX. I uninstalled my mobileforce drivers first, rebooted and installed nVidia's 175.32 without a hitch. The one game I tried worked great and has better frame rate then my previous mobileforce 174.xx

I just loaded them up after removign the old ones in safe mode.

They appear to work on my 1730 with 8700GT/SLI but they don't fix my inability to boot from battery power.

I can't believe I'm the only one who can't boot their 1730 without being plugged in...

It doesn't look like driver problem.

Just call dell, and ask for repairs.

So far these seem great. Finally i can leave the nvsvc32.exe running without it constantly hogging 2% cpu cycles. (and making the harddrive flicker every second like a clock)

so this process is responsible for the 2-4% cpu use and the hdd light flickering constantly? i was always wondering about this..
what is it good for anyway? can it be shut down without problems?

In my experience, it does nothing useful whatsoever, and I have never found a reason to have the service running.

It switches the GPU between 2d more and 3d mode. Without it running if you boot on battery you'll be stuck in 2d mode when you enter a game. If you boot while connected to ac it wont go to 2d mode in the desktop enviroment to lower temps.

This driver seems to do the job without contantly using cpu cycles.

I had this problem before and it was a driver problem, try the 174.16 the 1 from LaptopVideo2Go & NVIDIA Related News the modified driver and should solve it,,dell replaced eveything in my xps and didnt solve it but when I replaced the driver it was ok,, uninstall ur driver with Driver cleaner then install the new 1


hope that will work with u

I think I'm doing something wrong, when I go to the Laptop Video 2 Go link you provided and click on Downloads, the most recent version they list for Vista32 is 169.09

Could you be a bit more specific for someone who seems to be too dense today to find the link

Which startup process do you kill to get rid of it? I'm down to a low 33 stock, and the four startup items still enabled in MSCONFIG are:

1. rundll32 (the nvHotkey one)
2. NvCpl
3. NvMcTray
4. nwiz

I'd like to keep my color profiles, so killing the process that does that might annoy me a bit. I'd assume that's NvCpl for the control panel where the color changes are made. But which ones can die/be disabled?

I just installed them and they fixed my artifacting issues with some games. So far they are better than the latest Dell drivers.
