Windows 7 - Problem with installing drivers for GeForce 9600M GT

when you say risky how risky?

risky like you might BSOD on boot up and never get back into windows. i always perform restore points in system restore before doing any of these risky maneuvers. so far i've manually updated my drivers twice and only had one BSOD but my machine booted back up just fine.

I am having the same type of Issue I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate. It installed the window VGA drivers and seems to not even see my 9400GT 1GIG card. I have tried installing with the card in then reinstalled windows without the card in and restarted put the card in and the drivers bump'd right in and hide my card? Any help?????

Thats odd mate, im running a 9400GT 1GB, and mine runs perfectly, no hiccups.

It is compatible with Windows 7, so need to ask? since your specs are very lacking.
1. what version of Windows 7?
2. Version in like FULL ISO (technet- MSDN)
3. Downloaded from what site?
4. Verified by MD5?
5. x86 or x64

MSI has a nice program that will find the DRIVER your mobo should be using. MSI also is touchy about drivers and signatures.
recommend you use the MSI Drivers.

It is rather annoying to try and assist the originator of a thead, when everybody else has the same problem... NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. you have a simular problem.
Been a Computer tech since 1983 I have never seen two exactly alike computers in my life.

Start your own thread.
Fill out your specs... also include if x86 or x64

the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT is an attached video card on the Dell XPS One A2420. I can't understand why Dell did not provide a driver for 64 bit. All the other drivers for this machine are capable of 32 and 64 bit. Also, it looks like Dell has stopped production of this model. I don't think we will get much support from them on this issue.

Solved the problem. I am now running in 64 bit with the latest Nvidia driver with no errors at all. I am using ver 195.81 beta and have also used 195.62. I edited the listdevices.txt and the NVAM.INF files. If you e-mail me at edel.berto@live.com, I will send you the files. Just replace the files you have now in the Nvidia directory with these and run setup again. Running Aero with no problems. This applies to Dell XPS One A2420 only!
