Hey im new here but ive just reinstalled windows 7 on my dell alienware m15x. It has an 2gb nvidia gtx 660m graphics driver but i cant seem to install in of the drivers. everytime i try to install a 660m driver it says cant find compatible hardware. But when i use the manual search on the nvidia site it says i have a 660m card but it recommends to download from dell site. Ive also tried downloading from there but no hope so im stuck with a standard vga drive for now. Anyone know how to fix?
These are my hardware ids
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD4&SUBSYS_02A21028&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD4&SUBSYS_02A21028
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD4&CC_030000

Which .inf file did you modify? I'm having the same problem with my M15X not recognizing a gtx 660m card. Thanks.
