I installed Win7 RC 64-bit and I can't get the nVidia drivers to install for my 9600M GT card. I had a problem with Vista 64-bit as well, but was manually able to install them without a problem. In Win7, I keep getting an error message that no supported hardware was found. But when I run the widget on nVidia's website, it finds the card without a problem and recommends 186.03...but I can't install it By the way, this is in a Dell XPS One 24".

i had the same problem and solved it by manually editing the proper INF file. it worked for another member on here as well and he posted a very detailed description of the steps here:

we all have the exact same Dell A2420 with Windows 7 x64 and 9600M GT card.

you will notice i posted an update a couple posts down from the above link. the NVDM.INF file did not work out as well as i had hoped and i started having a minor but annoying issue so i modified and switched to the NVAM.INF file instead. you may not experience any issues depending on the software you have on your machine.

also, it is worth nothing that even though my machine is working almost flawlessly now, i had to tweak a couple things to get it working in tip-top shape. it seems that the display drivers have issues with some of the more advanced power management options, so the best setting is "Performance", not "Balanced", which is set by default. and turn off hibernate and sleep. when my computer goes to sleep, it is 50/50 on whether it will come back or not. sometimes it blue screens and sometimes it just hangs, so i just set it to never sleep. i still have the monitor turn off and the hard drives turn off which seems to work fine.

I have an issue even with the new beta drivers. When I am in dual monitor extend mode so I can scroll from one to the other, and then I launch Battlefield 2, I get into the game, start up a round and as soon as it joins the game.... BAM straight to the desktop, but it doesn't close automatically. I click on the the taskbar when it minimized to, but I get nothing. If I hit ctrl+alt+delete it automatically closes.

I have everything set at defaults, and this happens whether I am overclocked on the CPU or not. I am not overclocking the GPU. Also if I disable the 2nd monitor, it works fine. So I can play, but I have to do this monitor tango to get it to work. Any suggestions?

Nvidia GeForce WHQL certified drivers 191.07 available.

This is a WHQL-certified driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, and 200-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.

You're welcome Shawn, Harry.

DL'ing now and testing...all last 19x.xx did not shutdown/turndown the GPU fan after gaming.

im running the 191.07's & there's still no temp monitoring through EVGA tuner.., & the clocks dont settle back to 2D, even though the release notes show that bug was fixed....

cmon nvidia these 191s have been pretty crap....

bring on the 192.xxs

Hi All

When you have installed the new 191.07 drivers, win7 updates will show new drivers for NVIDIA, stay clear they are the old drivers.

If you check the EVGA Precision forums, there is a way to fix the no temps in Precision with the 190.XX drivers.

I'm not at home, but it has to do with removing specific entries from the Registry and rebooting.

I've done it myself and now Precision checks temps.

Also, I've seen with the new drivers that once I exit a 3D app, the clocks go back down to normal 2D speeds.

i'll have a look over at EVGA for the temp fix (though ive reverted to RT after a long time away....lol), the 2D clock issue may be a problem with my rig then, but the down-clock hasn't worked correctly since the first 190's if i recall...

its a pig b/c it adds 10c to my idle GPU temp....

w00t! 191.07 is working great on my rig. It seems to run cooler than previous versions, my GPU fan doesn't seem to scream as much as it did. GPU fan slows down to normal after exiting games/as it cools down.

Dont get them from WU (hide those updates), always get them direct from the nvidia website.

191.07 is fine here. Now both GPU's on my GTX295 drop back to 2D when idle. Still got that 59hz vs. 60hz issue in Windows 7 however (meaning not in Vista), but am trying to ignore that.

 

[JustDoIt]

The 191.07 reduced my WEI from 5.4 to 4.9 and that was on the processor subscore. The 191.03 betas are perfect

 

[johnwillyums]

I lost temps in Evga precision, so I opened Riva tuner. This tells me I'm idling a 36 c previous to installing them I was at 46

 

[Everlong]

191.07s are very good. Need for Speed: Shift plays a lot better now and runs a lot smoother.

Also on a side note, the 15.51 nForce drivers really improve RAID performance, so a couple of great new drivers from nvidia

Im having a hassle with my 191.07 update .. I dl it directly from nvida.com and when i run the update everything goes smooth UNTIL at the end whin its at "Installing driver components"

..There it's stuck for ages and finally the message "System has not been modified. To install this program at a later time , run installation again."

Now I've tried removing the old driver before installing but this always pop ups .. I'm left relying on the driver version that came on the CD inside the box when I got the card (8600gts)

Any thoughts?



p.s. wee first post !

hmm........:sarc:

i get this message on my machine if attempting to install a driver that matches the existing one...

do you know what driver you currently have..?? if not run ''GPUZ'' then post us up a screenie.

have you tried to install the latest driver in ''safe mode'', this is a good way to be sure your bypassing ALL other S/W.
