New NP3790 drivers - Page 5

Thanks!

EDIT:
For the wireless drivers, do you uninstall and then reinstall.. or install on top of the existing drivers. Does it update smoothly that way? Thanks

What DO you use? The Windows WLAN manager? In the beginning I wasn't much of a fan for the ProSET Wireless software, but it really grew on me. I think it's perfect today and love to use it. It makes a lot of sense and is more intuitive than the Windows WLAN manager to me
Anyway, seems like Intel redid their readme/release notes and the setup program slightly, because everything has become a little more clear and a little more pretty. It is now how it should have been a long time ago. The readme and the setup program both say that the latest installer will detect older versions of the driver/ProSET software and will update these. If no older versions are found, it's just a regular setup, obviously. And it worked EXACTLY like that, with no problems at all.

I ask myself as well.. where did they all go? We were like a sworn-in brotherhood about a year ago when everyone was awaiting their NP3790's, drooling. Now everyone's gone with the wind it seems.. I still have mine, for one, and I'm still as happy as ever with it. Its speakers are about the worst I've ever seen on any notebook to date, but everything else is sweet. I still love the screen, though after seeing a newer Dell model and just how white its white is due to awesome brightness, it made the NP3790's screen pale in comparison.. but hey, but in terms of resolution and components inside the lappy, my maxed out NP3790 is hard to beat, even today

As for your question.. I wouldn't know. Haven't played a game on this thing in ages. If anything is really, really showing its age in this lappy, it's the GFX card. The Mobility 9700 is almost antique today and doesn't perform all that great anymore either.. but it still amazes me what it's able to pull off. HL2 was very playable for me back when it came out and I spent many hours in the magically beautiful HL2 with relatively smooth gameplay with all settings pretty much maxed out . Chronicles of Riddick, also a very GFX intensive game, runs even smoother, which is amazing because it looks equally as good as HL2 but has even more bells and whistles to it.. so while it's not super smooth, I'm still impressed.

I just use whatever the latest Omega drivers are and that works great . It seems Unian drivers have died as there hasn't been a new release in ages..

It's awesome to know this thread's still alive. It's extremely useful. Keep the updates coming and THANK YOU.

Is it safe to install that on a working WinXP Pro SP2 system? Any benefits?

Thank you!

Just so you know.. I still follow this thread. It's my main source of updates for the NP3790, and the fact that people still update this is much appreciated here

Thanks

I've tried to download the latest BIOS, but the file appears to be corrupt. Is there another source?

Thanks,
Jake

Just want to let you guys know i'm still getting a lot of use out of this thread. I rarely visit the forums anymore, as there are rarely 3790-relevant posts anymore. I guess once we all got our babies running smoothly and worked out any issues we may have had, there was no more need to visit the forums. Plus, I for one haven't wanted to hear people drooling over the new models that they've ordered...I want to pretend that my 3790 is still cutting-edge and top of the line, at least until i'm ready to shell out for a new one...

I'm still loving mine, and everything's running great - save for the fact that my fan has gotten louder. I opened it up and checked for lint, but couldn't find anything visibly wrong with it. I'm considering doing a reinstall of my OS at the end of this semester, only because I've learned a lot about maintaining a computer and keeping everything running as efficiently as possible and I'd like to start over from scratch. Plus, I figure a yearly reinstall can't really hurt. When I do go for it, I'll definitely come looking here to make sure everything is as up-to-date as possible.

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions!

Wow ... I'm surprised that this thread is still here. I went over to the head-fi.org forums since I started getting into headphones and FLAC and stuff. It's been a while since I've been on notebookforums. Guess there's nothing of interest for me here besides this thread.

Any instructions for how to update the BIOS?? I just see a *.bin file, an FP.exe file and FLASH.exe ...

Thanks
