I am trying to install a driver for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics card in my T61p laptop running Windows XP Pro. After installing the driver, which was downloaded off the Lenovo website, I cannot select a resolution higher than 640x480 and I cannot seem to associate the LCD display with the video card. Has anyone encountered a driver problem like this and any fix for it ? Thanks for any pointers !

Determining which version is installed For Windows XP: 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance. 2. Click System, click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager. 3. Right click 'NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M' or 'NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M' under Display adapters. Then click Properties. 4. Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the Driver Version. *********************************************************************** ... info http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/s... ... driver: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/s...

Thanks, I have been back to the Lenovo website, printed and read these links and other driver support pages more closely. The T61P sure is a complex beast to set up properly, even after setting up with set of 7 Lenovo Recovery CDs ! It does have latest BIOS version and latest version of NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M display driver, as indicated on support pages. But still stuck with low screen res 640x480. If res setting is increased to higher res it wont hold the setting and keeps going back to 640x480. Have had a problem updating the motherboard chipset driver, during setup it falls over with an error, possibly this is impacting on the display driver. device manager doesn't show any missing or bad drivers, although in the monitor category there are 3 different entries viz Default monitor Thinkpad 1920x1200 Thinkpad 1920x1200 Anyone more ideas anyone ?

"...If res setting is increased to higher res it wont hold the setting..." ... oh... I misread your first post.... ... try ...in display properties click "advanced" (tab) click "troubleshoot" (tab) ... and move the "hardware acceleration" slider "one" or "two" notches to the left... see if that helps!
