Windows not recognizing NVidia GeForce 8400M GT

[torrentg]

Hi Torrentg,
A quick question - I know you are busy helping UclaMac and others - thanks for your patience with us noobies! I have got everything working on my Sony Vaio with Windows 7, except for device manager showing standard pnp monitor. Is there a fix for this? Does it matter, for games and such?

Thanks
Ray

Sure. Of course it matters. That means there is no "real" video driver on the system. You can follow this to install one.

It is the monitor

Hi Torrentg,

Perhaps I was not clear. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed properly via your tutorial so I have the fast graphics and not the standard vga driver. I meant that in device manager for my monitor it is showing generic pnp monitor. Is that okay? Everything seems to be working fine!

Regards,

Ray

 

[torrentg]

Yeah, that is not a problem. It's cool.

 

[rkeilty]

Thanks again Torrentg.
You are cool too!

Regards

Ray

For once, the adviser is correct lol.

So, we can make it compatible. Install using this method.

Hey.

Follow my link here on how to install. If you can't see the .inf file, follow this first.

 

[roach]

first off thank you for a fast reply.
i still cant see the .inf file tried to search for it aswell i can see all hidden files but there isnt any .inf file and ive extracted the nvidia grapichs driver like u said.

 

[torrentg]

Go to C:\NVIDIA in Windows Explorer. Then in the top right box, search for *.inf

 

[roach]

ok yea just did and its not there...

 

[torrentg]

There's nothing I can do for that then. Sorry.

 

[roach]

okay mate =( thanks anyways...

 

[roach]

think ive got it... with the .inf file u gave me was for 32x windows? cause it says now the version doesent match..

 

[torrentg]

I didn't give any .inf. It's included in the version you downloaded from NVIDIA. If you downloaded x86 it will be x86 and if you downloaded x64 it will be x64.

Hi.

Since x64, you'll have to search for a way to permanently disable driver signing enforcement or use f8 to do so each time you start your machine.

You can use this method to install the driver.
