Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7

Strange,

Do you have the chipset and monitor drivers installed?

 

[Ex_Brit]

By chipset I assume you mean motherboard BIOS update. It is the latest available for this M/B. Monitor drivers are also the latest. Device Manager is all OK.

Cheers, downloading Now!

No problems here yet. Am going to try a game & media center.!

Tried a game and media center. Both OK. The 18.22 whql driver also cleared the problem with a black screen replacing the theme, after using media center

OK the same thing happened in Vista...that is a first. Code 43. Driver installed OK but Windows stopped it running because of "a problem". Updating my WEI served no purpose as it then dropped from its already low 4.1 to 1.0...!!
XP's both installed without a hitch.

Thank God for System Restore.

I have no idea what is causing this but I suspect it's some 3rd party influence, but what? Nothing major has changed.
Nvidia Forums have several reports from various people of exactly the same problem. So you guys that are achieving success are lucky.

Peter,

Sorry, I meant the motherboard chipset drivers, not the BIOS. These are the drivers for the components built into the motherboard. southbridge, USB, IDE, ATA, etc........

From the link above, it doesn't appear Vista is supported for this mobo.

Thanks. I've already gone that route and whilst it appears that the chipset has been updated, the next time I boot into whatever is my "system of the day" tests show that nothing has changed.

Yes this MOBO is getting on in age now but performs very well, in Windows 7 and Vista for that matter. Bought this machine in 2001 and it has been heavily modded since then....LOL.

As I stated last night, Nvidia's Forums are full of moans and groans from people experiencing exactly the same as myself, and not just for this update, but the previous one too, (181.20 I think). With many complaints from people with much more recent MOBO's than myself.

At least the damn things installed OK in both my XP boots...whoop dee doo.

On the Nvidia Forums someone from Romania, of all places, has steered me to an Nvidia webpage that points out to Windows 7 Beta users that they should only get their Nvidia drivers via Windows Update.

NVIDIA Graphics Supercharge Microsoft Windows 7

While that doesn't answer why they also failed in Vista, at least it makes me feel better about the failure in Windows 7.

Peter,

LOL, the Vista drivers work better for me in Windows 7 than the Windows 7 beta drivers do. Go figure. LOL

 

[Neilsouth]

^ same here

Yes I have to agree the 181.22 whql drivers are working very well.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Well I guess I just have to be different...LOL

Hello everybody. I´ve got an LG p310 Tarsia with a 9600gt. I´ve installed W/ 64 bits, and I´ve tried to install 181.22 geforce winvista drivers for vista 64, but I can´t. This is the message it gives to me:



And this is the windows experience note:



So I don´t know what I can do, because I love W7, but it´s a problem to use a very powerful laptop and as you can see...

Anybody knows how can I solve this issue?

Thanks and regards!!

Have you tried windows update?

 

[Usi]

I don´t know how to do it. What´s that?

Thank you!

And anybody knows why I have 1.0 in Windows Experience? It´s not normal, and my laptop now hots very much (sorry for my bad english).

Thanks!!!

 

[damoh]

ok then

first off go to start then click programs and its at the top ' windows update'
Secondly i dont know why you have 1.0 in wei because your screen shot does not show the individual components tested. Do a full screen shot of the whole thing and let me see. Im guessing though it may either be your graphics card or your hd.
Do windows update and look for anything that says nvidia in it. Better still install all updates.

Let us know how you get on

 

[Usi]

Ok, thank you very much! This is what I see on Windows Update:



I don´t see anything about nvidia anywhere. And this is what I see on Windows Experience:



Thank you again!!

 

[damoh]

what does it list when you click one update available link?
also try the driver cd you got with your laptop. a lot of people are reporting sucess using vista drivers on hardware. Give it a shot mate you never know

I thought that graphics card drivers were bundled in with the chipset ones? at least that what it used to be on my laptop. Thought graphics card drivers were different drivers then onboard laptop graphics card? I might be wrong though

It says something about update bluetooth. The problem is that I haven´t a CD with drivers. I´ve got just a Recovery CD. I downloaded a lot of drivers from LG web page, but most of them don´t work. Overall, nvidia drivers, of course. I tried to download 181.22 from nvidia web page, but it doesn´t work also.

Ok well you need to find out what chipset you have cost that might contain your gc driver. ( thats a wild guess mind you) Theres no reason why we can not get this installed. i installed it on a acer one netbook so going on yours should be easy enough
