After you do this, are you able to switch between adapters on your ULX0VT? I have an UL80VT and have run into some issues;

Can you post link to the exact driver files you are using?

Do you think your method will work with these updates drivers: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/30194-asus-ul80vt-28548-win7-x32-driver-release/

Just go step by step and all features of Video Hybrid Technologies will be available for you.
I tried all Nvidia drivers and latest working driver was 186.88

Do you mean to use the original ASUS OEM driver release Version V8.15.11.8688 // 186.88?

Have you tried upgrading to a new driver version after that?
