Nvidia video driver is incomplete
The Nvidia video driver R296609 is incomplete. It does not apply properly via OSD in sccm, or even manually once the laptop has Win7 on it.
I downloaded the R297609 driver from the dell driver website for E6420 which contained some extra folders and files in the root directory. As a test I removed the extra folders and files so the package looked like the one from the cab bundle and the driver failed to apply again. If I leave the package as is with the extra files and folders then it applies no problems. The person who put the cab bundle together has taken too much out of this package in an effort to minimise it and I'm not sure how it got through testing.
Testing was done on Win7x64. We don't use x86 but it would probably be the same. The E6520 also uses this driver and it's the same deal in that cab bundle.
