    The version I'm running should be obvious, as the only version with Wireless network Bridging is the x.24 version (.26 won't support it.)

    "The ruling here is basically that people can't trade in their four-year-old worthless laptops for brand new expensive ones"

    They can't trade SHIT in to begin with, the laptops have been long dead and busted, with the company refusing to replace.

    I'm one of the affected (DV9825nr - nVidia GeForce 860M GS) and I got my replacement, mostly equivalent, and IT'S A LEMON. Thankfully I invoked the warranty not a few days before it went tits up so It's getting repaired for free right now, although with the slew of problems I think this qualifies for Tier-X (what HP calls economically unservicable) and are probably going to ship me something new.

    The only thing on my replacement that was NOT comparable was the GPU. the 8600 did far better than the ATi 4200HD

    Back in the day of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, we had this magic thing called a LightPen. It enabled pen-based touchscreen right there on your PC!
    Why the fuck this isn't used today is beyond me. It was accurate, responsive, and just about as good as a Wacom tablet/pen today.

    Do you even write drivers?

    No?
    THen you don't have half a clue, because you haven't stuck your nose into the driver stack.

    Come back when you've worked very closely with the drivers - hint: I did OmegaDriver dev back when 3dfx was stilla viable company. Workingon nVidia's unified driver architecture is much easier, as it's a package to work across all NT operating systems. THat means you can enable features from one version not present in another version with simple tweaks and hacks.

    Come back when you can hack, pal.

    A class-action of the people against SCOTUS would be interesting, as a challenge of the constitutionality of the ruling.

    XPx64 DOESN'T NEED THE WORKAROUND AS IT'S SERVER 2K3/VISTA BASED..

    Which is what that machine is running.

    The link was merely posted in case you wanted something to actually read, as I doubt you have any clue as to just how far my nVidia experience goes (GeForce256 was my first nVidia card, FYI, and I've had EVERY generation since.)

    Also, nVidia uses a UNIFIED DRIVER ARCHITECTURE.

    One .ini hack is all it takes to re-enable Dual Monitor support in SLI mode.

    Or you could install the XPDM drivers instead of the WDDM drivers, as the XPDM drivers can force multi-monitor support.

    I find it funny that you think you're so intelligent yet you can't find a workaround for such a simple problem.
