Z61t with Vista...NetFlix Problems

[billp117]

Netflix now has a Watch Now option that requires IE 6.0 or higher and their special software. I cannot watch a movie with Vista and IE 7.0.

I called Netflix and they said to upgrade the video driver. After telling the nice lady that all the drivers are updated, she fiddled with my laptop on-line...but could not make it work. It works fine on my other Vista and XP computers.

The Itel 945GM driver site shows newer drivers, but they will not load on the Z61t ThinkPad. The 945GM Express Chipset family does not seem to work very very with NetFlix. Can someone try it with XP and tell me if it works?

Also, my battery life is about one hour shorter with Vista...any suggestions?

Thanks, Bill

I fixed the problem by downloading the latest Intel video driver...from Intel.
