GeForce QuadraGo, 2Go & 4Go Drivers

As anyone with a Dell or Toshiba laptop with one of these cards will know, not all drivers will work with these cards. It is possible however to modify any version of Detonators to work properly. All you need is the drivers you want to modify and an inf file from your current drivers.
Copy the following entries from your current inf file to the new one:
[NVidia.Mfg]

[nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings] (just the modes for your card, although I have noticed that some newer drivers have these already)

[Strings] just the entry for your card for Localizable Strings

I have noticed that the latest drivers use:
[Manufacturer]
%NVidia% = NVidia.Mfg[NT5.1]

In that case, just copy the WHOLE file from [DestinationDirs] down.

I have tested the drivers with Dell 8100 GF2Go, 8200 GF4Go and on a friends Toshiba, all with success. Note - Toshibas GF4Go uses a different sting identifier than Dell's (not just a different manufacturer ID).
If anyone wants the inf file pre-modded, ask and I'll post it here for you to cut and paste.

Delete the card from device manager, reboot, let Windows detect the card, go to device manager, update driver, select manually choose driver, and point it to your modded drivers. Install them and reboot.
