64 bit nvidia 8400m gs windows 7 driver

Torrentn thanks for the Inf file but I do run windows 7 64bit. Can you revise the inf file for 64 bit windows home premium. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rar the inf you want me to edit and attach to a post. Download from NVidia's site for desktop model first, if you don't have an installer package. You can overwrite the .inf with mine when I post again with it.

Torrentg, I am new so do not know my way around this forum yet. Thanks for the inf file but I forgot to specify I am running window 7 64bit so it did not work. Can you make a correction for me? Thanks for all of your help and sorry for the inconvenience. Take care

nvdia 8400m gs with windows 7 64 bit

Torrentg here is the Inf. file you sent me previosuly. I have already downloaded the latest nvidia mobility drive so I am just waiting for your new inf file. I am using windows 7 64 bit. Thanks

Can you make a correction for me?

You're welcome but see my previous post. You have to download for your model of card, only tell it for desktop model (without m) for Win 7 x64.

Then run it and extract to C:\NVIDIA - close when extraction is done. Installer not needed any longer.
In there someplace will be the inf you have to use Winrar on and attach the .rar to a post.

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

You're going to have real problems with this anyway because of driver enforcement. You really should be running x86 Windows.

I'll edit it for you and the rest is in your hands. You can download, replace the original with mine and install using the device manager like I tell everyone else.

You'll be waiting quite a long time if you don't reread my previous post better.

Nevermind. I'll make it happen. Give me a few (I'm feeling kind today.)

Here's your .inf - look at my posts to other people and install the exact same way. Make sure you copy and paste this .inf over the original one that you just downloaded and extracted somewhere in C:\NVIDIA

Same hardware id

Hi Torrentg,

I have exactly the same hardware id as Vaio 77 above post:-

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_0300
Sony Vaio VGN-AR51E laptop.
I have just upgraded from vista 32 to w7 but took across all my files and settings - did not do the clean install. Well I have pasted your NV_DISP.inf in the NVIDIA driver folder for the latest desktop driver 191.07 and followed your instructions to the letter. WellI get an error message at the end:-
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while installing it.
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT.
The system cannot find the file specified ."

I wonder what you could suggest?

Thanks,

Ray

Right click standard vga in device manager. Update driver software. Browse. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Find my NV_DISP.inf that you placed over original and double click it. Hit ok.

Hi Torrentg,

I am doing all this, over and over. At the last, when I double click your NV_DISP.inf and okay it takes me back to the Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware box. Then I am prompted to click NEXT down below the Have Disk button. Then it says, Installing driver software. Then I get the error Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error whild attempting to install it.

Many thanks for helping so many of us tonight.

Hi Torrentg,

Thanks on behalf af many of us for the tutorial. Well, I went through all your sequence time and time again, using your modified NV_DISP.inf file to no avail. Then I double clicked on "Have disk" by mistake and the drivers started to load. Now I am enjoying aero! Thanks again.

Regards,

Ray

 

[torrentg]

Clicking on "have disk" is no mistake lol!

Very glad for you.

Hi Torrentg,

Please forgive me for being a noob but I have been trying to follow you tutotrial but my hangup happens when I try to find out what my Hardware lds is? All that pops up is .... Monitor\Default_Monitor

I know I have an nvidia 8400m GT but have no idea why I cant see the info you keep talking about.

 

[torrentg]

Your video card will show up exactly where my 3850 is in the picture. Yours will be "standard vga" because it is not using the driver yet.

 

[UclaMac]

torrentg do you have like yahoo chat or aol chat so we could chat if you have time to fix my problem?

Right click on it. Properties. Details tab. Change dropdown to hardware ids. If you still need help, post a screenshot of this screen using the paperclip.
