I'm assuming it will. I beleive the 30W and the N30W are the same model. Maybe someone else here can confirm this????

After about an hour of searching, I found this.

Scroll down a bit and you will see a link to download M6.12.12. That should be the driver you need. Make sure to have DirectX8 or higher installed first though. (get it from Microsoft.com)

Hope this helps.

OK, try this.
http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=NECFIUP0412060...
Download the driver from here.

Once you download them, go to My Computer->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager-> double click on display drivers -> right click the driver that comes up and click on properties.
In the driver properties, click on the driver tab.

click on rollback driver.
Once thats done, restart the notebook. Go back to the device manager and this time install the driver you downloaded. Do a manual installation. "Install from a list or specified location(Advanced)". Next window "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install".

Next window- click on "have disk". the driver is most probably located on c:/pnp/atdriver/ ... Once you choose that dir, you will get 4-5 inf files to choose from. Choose "atiixpab.inf ". Install the drivers and reboot the comp.

Let me know.

Can you boot to safe mode? If so, make sure you remove the ATI catalyst software. Also, check device manager and make sure that the ATI card is no longer there.
