resolution problem after installation of windows 7

[wouter]

I've updated the bios settings to 1.45.
And i've downloaded and installed the Nvidia driver from the acer website vers.:8.16.11.8926

Still nothing happend.

Did you uninstall the old driver?

 

[wouter]

Did you uninstall the old driver?

the nvidia driver?
no

 

[BugOutMachine]

You have to uninstall it and reboot - then apply the Acer driver.

 

[wouter]

I've uninstalled the Nvidia driver.
And installed standard VGA driver. And with the standard VGA driver the laptop doesn't give a failure code. The stadard driver works correct as you can see on the attachment tumbnails. But still I can't change the resolution or the colors. It says that the total graphic memory is 14 mb.
Thats not normal.

 

[theog]

That would right for the standard VGA driver.

You need to install the Windows 7 drivers from Acer.

I installed the acer driver Nvidia 8.16.11.8926. But i didn't help.

It is strange that I can't change the resolution with the standard VGA driver.

I'm going to install windows 7 again. Maybe it helps..

 

[wouter]

How do you see when the card is fried?

 

[wouter]

Problem of the resolution is solved! And the colors are back to normal!
All i did was remove the video card and clean it a little bit and put it back in. And it worked.

And even with the newest driver of the Nvidia site windows 7 worked super. But after 3 times of restart it didn't startup anymore and I got a white screen.

In safemode I put the driver back to standard VGA graphic adapter and everything work like normal but the aero mode and the design stuff of windows 7 doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I'm going to try the driver from the acer website.
I'll get back to you.

 

[wouter]

I tried to instal the driver from the acer site but i didn't work.
I got a blue screen and an error nvlddmkm.sys.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

 

[pebbly]

wouter did you use either drive sweeper or ccleaner to uninstall the old driver before you reinstalled ? the driver files may be trying to access an older version of nvlddmkm.sys on your PC

 

[wouter]

no i didn't use those programs.
I will install ccleaner and uninstall it with that

 

[NoN]

no i didn't use those programs.
I will install ccleaner and uninstall it with that

Humm...So thing going forward slowly but surely around there!

Pebbly is right, the older driver taking over the fresh one:

In case you cannot get rid of this one with a Ccleaner..you might look at this folder, and delete manually.

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\nvlddmkm.sys

 

[wouter]

I tried ccleaner and driversweeper but both of them didn't help.
When I searched my system for the file nvlddmkm.sys I found 6 files in driverstore filerepository and some maps in there. And I've read somewhere if i rename them to .old and installed the driver again it should work normaly everywhere. But now it gives an error during installation and it says i need an interactive computer.

So that didn't work.
I really don't know it anymore.

 

[NoN]

Look in this one again...not the following folder DriverStore

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\nvlddmkm.sys

It's not in there anymore but still i didn't work.
Things are going slowly but its getting better and better but I still keep my fingers crossed

 

[wouter]

Look in this one again...not the following folder DriverStore

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\

It's not in here to.

Humm...I guess you'll have to go in the registry (see the path on attached thumbnail)

Start Menu=>Run + (type) regedit (open command prompt)

Then locate the Key "nvlddmkm" and delete it. Then reinstall your Acer Nvidia driver
