I have also tried to use the NIVIDIA drivers to no avail. The updating of
the registry sounds like a good idea, but how do you do this when you are in
the middle of the install process (booting into windows for the first time).
Also I could not figure out what to change in decorating the .inf file. I
cannot find the correct decorations for an amd system anywhere. I am
assuming that the existing ones in the inf file are incorrect.
