Since January 2007 I have had to manually force my  Dell XPS M1210 video output onto my external Dell 2007WFP display. The laptop is running Windows Vista.

By default you would receive a “out of range” message on the display because the old drivers were supply some wrong information, a resolution the monitor could not cope with.

The video card in the laptop is a Geforce Go 7400

So finally Nvidia have released a set of Drivers for the Geforce Go 7400 that fix this problem.

I downloaded them from Windows Update. They appear as an optional download.

Six months is too long to wait for a fix but I am glad it has finally be addressed.

I took a look at the Windows Experience Index score of the new drivers:-

Desktop Graphics: Before 3.7 After 3.7

Gaming Graphics Before 3.4 After 3.3 

So you drop .1 on the gaming performance, it would be nice if newer drivers improved performance as opposed to losing it.
