i just recently downloaded a graphics driver. But when i tried to execute the installer, while the package is checking for compatibility of my hardware then eventually it shows "No internet connection". Well, my internet is down right now. Is there any possibility to cracked it down and install it offline?Nice to be back here, after a while. Thanks! :)
Found a thread in their forums that could help you. How to install Drivers without internet connection?
For the sake of posterity (in case link dies) I'm copying the relevant parts and mirroring the image.
If you want so badly their Experience software (which is to most accounts bloatware) you need to install/update .net framework 4 from here (yeah it's a web installerjaafaman on GeForce community forums said:You must have either the 320.18 WHQL or the 320.49 BETA as "the latest driver", either of which require the .Net 4+ Framework because of the inclusion of GeForce Experience. It's the stub installer for .N4 that's causing it.
Go to your C:\NVIDIA folder and drill down through the display driver's subfolders to delete that for the GeForce Experience, then come back up to your language folder and start the Setup again...
and you can delete the MS.NET folder as well.
As to which driver to look into - well, which one will you try to install?
Your language, if not the International version, will be where you see the International folder - such as English. The driver setup.exe is located there...). As it seems it wants to connect to the Internet to install/update it because it's needed by the Experience, if you have it already, it will go on with the installation without asking for internet connection.
You can try this if the driver is downloaded to your computer
Device Manager
Tick on your Nivida card
Right tick and select update driver
Tick on Brows my Computer include sub folders
If Windows can find the driver it should be listed there. Tick on it and tick Next.
