I got a problem with my Alienware M15X
Ok guys, my father bought me an Alienware M15X for my birthday. Well that's not the problem, here's the problem,

At the first time I play Left 4 Dead 2, the laptop can run it perfectly, but at the second day, the laptop can't run it perfectly, I mean this laptop use GTX 260M so it should run L4D2 with no lags. I realized that I haven't downloaded the newest NVdia Verde driver. So I downloaded the driver and it works, but everytime I turn on my laptop I always need to download the driver to run L4D2 perfectly. And now everytime I download the driver, my laptop still can't run L4D2 with the recomended settings.

Please help me, I just want to play L4D2 and some other games without lags or something like that.

Are you talking about offline or online play? because online play is effected most by your connection.
Hrmm, while your playing make sure to close any background applications and antivirus programs that could be using up your resources (since your playing a game your unlikely to download a virus :P)
hurmm, the only other thing I can think of is downloading everything (all the drivers) you can from dell's or alienwares website, other than that i'm spent.

Its a little harder than just plugging it in, you have to go into the BIOS and turn off hybrid mode and intergrated graphics.

Then you would be the same as before.
