LG P330 review by Natadiem

[mrfurby2u]

There are more than one inf file available as some chose to manually modify theirs. Most people went with the one over at laptopvideo2go.com (thanks for the link master_ace!): Drivers | laptopvideo2go.com

What types of improvements have people had updating their NVIDIA drivers? I have had mixed experiences updating laptop vid drivers in the past. Sometimes things get better or faster sometimes they get worse and/or slower.

Thanks!

Thank you guys for your support

I think the nvidia driver is the only thing I will update..

BTW would you recommend a system backup or somth like that when I get the laptop? If yes which tools or apps would you recommend?

The next question will come when im getting an ssd, but this will take a few months so dont worry

Thanks a ton

I wouldn't bother. You'll already have two recovery partitions that let you restore it to the way it was when you recieved it. On top of that you have the LG Intelligent Update tool that will let you download the latest version of drivers, programs and windows patches.

Well I really didn't have a choice lol. I was using the driver that came with the laptop, I think it was 275.xx. But Diablo 3 beta won't run on it so I had to install 295.73 and now it runs fine. I guess if you're just watching movies or whatever I don't think newer drivers will make a difference, it's mainly for games.

I haven't had any issues with the bundled LG software I'm afraid. If you want to give reinstalling a try you can find the setup file here. I doubt it's going to do anything for you though since you're having trouble with other LG applications as well. If you check your user account in the windows control panel, does it have admin rights? Do you experience the aforementioned problems in safe mode?

Thanks for the info! Ya nothing's changed, my user account has all admin rights. I haven't tried to do this in safe mode though. It's just so strange how this all happened after I installed the 295.73 driver...

The target field in your shortcut is ""C:\Program Files (x86)\lg_swupdate\autoupdate.exe" giljabi", right? And you have of course tried right clicking and selected Run as Administrator? Perhaps you have a recent system restore point that you could try? What AV are you using? Does the problem disappear if you revert to an older driver?

Yes tried to run as admin and target field is correct. By AV are you referring to anti-virus software? I'm gonna try the last method, revert back to 275.xx driver and see if thats the problem. But If I have to pick between LG software and Diablo 3...well it's gonna be D3 (cause 275.xx driver wont run d3 for me lol)

Yes, AV=antivirus. I didn't mean that you should revert back to an older driver and stay on that one; the reverting was meant purely for diagnostic reasons. Have you tried safe mode or checked if you have a system restore point not too long before you started having problems?
