Problem with installing drivers for GeForce 9600M GT

[frikuuu]

Hi Guys.
I've got a problem with installing drivers for GeForce 9600M GT. I've installed windows 7 build 7264 x86, and after installation my display adatper is Standard VGA. This's a bit strange becouse when i have a beta 7000, and 7100 it automatically goes for windwos update and get correct drivers.
I've downloaded latest drivers from Nvidia (186.03) but it wont install with message that it cant find drivers for my hardware.
I've tried nvidia auto scannig, with no result. Also tried installing drivers manually with update driver, and uninstalling standard vga drivers in safe mode, but after restart it automatically install standard vga drivers even in safe mode...

I have MSI Gx630 Laptop.

Thanks for helping

I'm having the same problem with my 9600M GT card but with Win7 64-bit. Though, the autoscan on nVidia's website does find my card and recommends the 186.03 driver.

Install and run this http://files.getdropbox.com/u/976813/drivermax.exe once installed, create an account, and they will send you a free reg key, then let it find the driver for you. I went thru the same issue with drivers, and it took care of it for me.

Tried that and all it found was the Standard VGA Adapter and said I have the most recent driver

Sorry, I will keep trying to find a solution for you.

No need to apologize, I appreciate your help!

I think you should try to install the chipset driver for your board.

Have you tried the latest notebook driver from nVidia? I have a 8600M GT and I have to get mine from there. 9600M GT and 8600M GT have very little differences between the two so try that

And where might I find that? The drivers CD that came with the PC has the chipset for 32-bit installation but it won't install for a 64-bit installation.

Yep, tried that but it won't install. When I try and install it manually, it finds the hardware but then says the driver isn't compatible with tuis version of Windows, even though nVidia's website says it is.

im runnign as 9600mgt, i downlaoded my drivers manually, it worked fine, if the Win 7 ones dont work, try the Vista ones.

32-bit or 64-bit? And when you say you downloaded them manually, do you mean you installed them manually by going through Properties in the Device Manager and then browsing your computer for the nvdm file? nVidia's website shows the same driver for Vista and Win7 unless I'm missing something??

So what is not working. I am confused why the 186.03 for notebooks will not work...

GeForce Release 186

If you are running this install, and it is really not installing the driver maybe contact the hardware manufacturer.

The only othert thing I can suggest is if the install fails, go in to the device manager and find the vga adapter and point it to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.03\English for the driver and tell it to use that...

I download the 186.03 directly from nVidia's website and then run the setup file. The program starts and unpacks all the driver files. The nVidia screen comes up but then I get an error message saying that no hardware can be found. So, I try to do the install manually by going into Device Manager and pointing it to the nvdm file and then I get an error message indicating that the driver was found but it's not compatible with this version of Windows, even though it's the Win7 64-bit driver.

Maybe your GPU Is faulty? i dont see any reason why it shouldnt install, and as for the x86/x64, run the one that coresponds with your OS, as in, x64 driver for x64, and x86 Driver for x86.

Works fine with Vista 64-bit so it's something specific to Win7 64-bit.

just install off cd in safe mode.....thats all thats needed. i had the same prob with graphics driver. no problems with install after doing it this way....it just worked for me. no harm in trying.

 

[Pelican18TQA4]

Installing off a CD in Safe Mode has the same results, nada.

try the File driver on your HDD in safe mode?

I'm not sure what you mean by "File" driver?

Thanks again everyone for your input, I really appreciate the assistance.
