Installing 186.81 Nvidia Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Laptops 2700M/3700M NVS140M

UPDATE: I removed old 186.03 info and replaced with new driver info. Also I changed the device ID for the 3700m becasue it was not correct. I finally got a w700ds to test it on. Removed pre-edited INF files becsue they are no longer valid.
Here are some instructions on how to get the Nvidia drivers installed instead of waiting for Lenovo to update theirs. I take no responsibility if you break anything. I am a tinkerer and not a expert. It is working fine for me on a w700 with a 2700m. The NVS140M section may not work I have no means to test it. Let me know if you do it and it works fine. This should also technically work for Vista 64-bit.
1. Go tohttp://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_186.81_whql.html and download the drivers.
2. Run the install package. It will fail to install but it will extract the drivers to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.81\International\Display
3. Using the below information to edit the appropriate INF files. Just open them with Notepad. There will be 2 instances of each line you need to replace.
2700M/3700M
Edit the NVBL.INF file.
Search for:
%NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_0539103C
%NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_30EC103C
Replace with:
%NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_212517AA
%NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_211917AA
NVS140M
Edit the NVDM.INF file.
Search for:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_01FE1028
Replace with:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_20D817AA
5. Save the file and run the Setup.exe in the same directory. It should install fine.

To simplify things for NVS 140M users:
Download this file
Replace the copy included with installer in the 'Display' folder
Run setup.exe
This file includes the fix mentioned in the original post, as well as a registry entry for enabling brightness controls, as they didn't work for me with the nVidia drivers.

Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
Mac OS 10.5.2
Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

Using bootcamp 5.1, Windows 7 home is installed but missed installing the drivers disk. How to install the Mac drivers for windows after the fact.

While using Bootcamp 5.1, and OS X 10.8.2, I partitioned my Mac disk with 80 Gigs for Windows 7 home and the install went great, but I must have missed the time when I was to install the Mac drivers disk to install the drivers for Windows,(when in Windows I don't have a mouse or optical drive.) Is there a way to install the drivers after Windows is installed, or do I have to go through the whole process all over again?

Press X key after the startup sound to boot into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, download Boot Camp drivers and burn them into a USB drive or DVD. Finally, boot in Windows and install drivers

How can I install Mac Mini drivers for Windows 7 32-bit if I didn't install Windows 7 using bootcamp?

Hello. I have a mac-mini (mid 2010) and with bootcamp, was successfully running XP.
I then decided to upgraded to Windows 7 had lots of trouble installing it on my existing bootcamp partition.
I finally was able to install Windows 7, by just booting off the CD and letting it install that way.
But reading more on it, I think I was supposed to use Bootcamp to do it for me...
I had thought the Bootcamp Assistant was for only fresh installs of a Windows O.S. where no partitiion existed previously.
I had a partition so thought Bootcamp wasn't required for my needs.
But now, inside Windows 7, I have 0 drivers installed. I have an AirPort Express, so on the Mac side, I downloaded
and installed the Windows version of AirPort Utility and copied it to my USB stick. Then
I exported my settings to a text file on a USB Stick, then on Windows was able to successfully install AirPort Utility and import the settings.
But it still doesn't find my network. I am pretty sure I'm broadcasting my SSID...
So I need to know the following:
1) How to know I'm broadcasting my SSID - where do I find this in settings?
2) How I can install my mac-mini drivers on Windows 7 so I can use my existing wireless network, now that I've gone through the installation without using Bootcamp?
3) Do I need to set up network adapters and all that stuff in Windows 7 first? If so, how and what drivers do I need?
One other thing I tried was downloading Bootccamp 4.x and installing that on Windows 7 to see if it gives me the drivers that were supposed to be written to my USB stick if I had installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp in the first place... However I think the message it said was that it couldn't install as it was the wrong version. So I'm still stuck without drivers and therefore no internet.
And that is my main task - getting the Internet up and running in Windows 7.
Other Info:
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of memory.
I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I don't know what version of Bootcamp I'm running...
I can tell you that BootCamp Assistant is v3.0.4, but don't know if that means Bootcamp is also 3.0.4.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

I tried something that worked for me...
Knowing that after my install of Windows 7 wasn't the correct method (didn't go through bootcamp), and the BootCamp 4.x package wouldn't install under windows 7, I tried reinstalling Bootcamp 4.x in Windows 7 to see what the exact message was it gave me. The message said it couldn't install because of a 32-bit O.S. vs a 64-bit version of the package.
So that got me thinging - my XP version was 32-bit, and so is my Windows 7 installation. So I tried installing the bootcamp that came with my Mac OS X installation CD. This is bootcamp version 3.1.
Not only did it install, but it practically took care of everything driver-wise for me. I was then able to see my wireless network, enter my password and I was connected. The only thing else I had to do to get on the Internet was bring IE8 online (guess it ships offline by default). Firewall and Antivirus are now installed, just a few more things to go.
That's one thing that's just not clear that I'll be sure to note for next time... The Bootcamp packages you download are actually driver packages for Windows. That is where the Windows drivers exists that are necessary to make your Windows 7 PC work on a bootcamp partition!
I didn't need the AirPoirt Utility at all (at least, I never went into it).
Thanks VikingOSX for your post. I will not need to follow the steps you provided, but they may help someone else as all of these bootcamp issues I've been reading seem to be very unique per installation.
Hopefully my solution helps others.

Can I install AMD Graphics Drivers In Windows 32-Bit Operating System...

Please Help Me And Advised me ..
How TO install Amd Graphis Drivers In 32-Bitt Windows 8 System???

Hi:
See if this works. If it doesn't then you will need to install the supported operating system (W8.1 64 bit).
Download and run the W8.1 graphics driver from your model's support page...Close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-135683-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category. Click on the Standard VGA Adapter. Click on the Driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software method and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp67327. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way. Then reboot.

Installed Boot Camp drivers for Windows 7, now black screen!

I have a question--I have a late 2009 iMac with the ATI card, followed Apple's procedure for avoiding the black screen while installing Windows 7 on the partitioned HD, and found I could not update to Boot Camp 3.1 without already having Boot Camp 3.0 from the 10.6 install disc. I inserted the disc, had to perform a workaround because it said I couldn't run 64-bit, and installed the drivers (I assume?) from Boot Camp on the 10.6 disc. When my iMac restarted the screen soon goes black. I guessed I was at the login screen, typed in my name and password, and could hear it logging into Windows--my sound works, Magic Mouse works (no scrolling), etc but no screen after booting up in Windows. Did the Boot Camp drivers from the install disc over-write something that was working? How do I fix this so I can proceed to install the 3.1 and 3.2 Boot Camp updates? Just the ATI* trick? Please help!!!

I'm sorry to take up your time guys - as I wrote earlier I'm not that technical and new to all of this - I was promised that I could do everything the mac way in the windows environment if I bought Parallels Desktop 7 - I only did this as my company is installing af new CRM system that is only supported in Windows - now I have installed everything and find out that the MAC keyboard shortcuts and layout is not working at all in i.e. Outlook etc. and I've totally forgotten how the Windows shortcuts etc. is working - Parallels asked me to go to Apple for help and here I am
You write that "if you believe it's correct do it" - but I don't believe anything else than what I'm told - I'm not going to install anything if I don't know how to do and whether it's correct - I wont have the nerve to do that.
If at least could get a list or someting on how to use my Magic Trackpad in the windows environment I would be happy - then I would just have to switch between how to use it on both sides.
Hope you understand and sorry again for taking up your valuable time

Installing new NVIDIA Drivers in Windows XP (under Boot Camp)

Greetings,
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Are we able to download and install the latest 9600M GT WinXP Drivers made available here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html ?
I noticed the ones that came with my MBP 15" are 177.56, but NVIDIA has posted new ones, 185.5.
Can I update to the latest drivers or am I restricted to the ones that came with my MBP and Leopard Installation?
Thanks!

I have been repeatedly advised by Apple that future Boot Camp upgrades may not install properly if users have installed different drivers manually.
I had experienced this myself on my late 2007 MacBook Pro, and I had to roll back the drivers in order to upgrade Boot Camp.
Many issues have been reported about driver conflicts in Boot Camp on the unibody MacBook Pros, and Boot Camp is definitely due for an update. For these reasons, I have chosen not to manually update drivers on my unibody MacBook Pro.
I hope that this helps!
Good luck!

Hi Wilde,
Apple recommends to only use the BootCamp Drivers they provide.
However you can tryout these Nvidia driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html
Make sure to make a backup of your Windows before installing them.
Or at least make a System Restore Point.
Some people use DriverSweeper http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ to remove the 'old' drivers prior to installing the new ones.
Take care

How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.

U330 wireless and bluetooth drivers for windows xp. devices not working. drivers already installed

so i did a fresh instal of windows xp pro sp3.
device manager shows yellow question mark and ! for Network Controller and BCM2046 Bluetooth Device. i have tried using lan to windows update, update drivers, but device manager cannot find anything.
i have installed the 2 broadcom drivers for windows xp listed on lenovos website. i made sure that wireless switch is on, and fn+f5 wireless option is set to on as well.
LAN shows up. and so does the 1394 on the network connections, but no wireless.
(note: on my server 2008 os, the new windows troubleshooting instructed me to turn on a specific service, which then enabled my wireless to work.)
however i cant seem to find a way to get the wireless to work.
Could someone tell me all services exactly need to be enabled for the wireless to work? and why does the network controller still show up on device manager even after i have installed the drivers?
please help, totally lost.

Your "yellow" device is Bluetooth, not WiFi.
Fn+F5 utility work depends on both of them, so you need all drivers to be installed before it will work.
Install bluetooth drivers for your model. Also, your WiFI also may be Broadcom (Gemtek) and you may be trying to install Intel WiFi.

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Unable to install NVIDIA drivers on Windows 8 (Boot Camp)

I'm running Windows 8 on a secondary partition on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2009).
I have, in the past, been able to successfully install Windows 8 on a second partition on this mac and get everything working, including all of my device drivers. I had to erase that partition, though, so I no longer have that installation.
I've installed Windows 8 again, but I'm not able to get my NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT or 9400M graphics drivers to install!
First of all, I tried installing both 5.0.5033 and 5.1.5621 support software. After a lot of hassle, I got 5.1.5621 to install, but only through the BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi file, not through the BootCamp\setup.exe file (the setup.exe tells me that this version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model).
When I install the drivers that way, they don't install the NVIDIA drivers.
Next, I've gone directly to the NVIDIA drivers folder inside the support software, and tried to install them from there. i've also downloaded newer versions of the NVIDIA drivers from their website, and with all versions of the NVIDIA drivers, I've had to go through a huge hassle to get them to go to the setup wizard (instead of telling me there's no compatible hardware).
Then, I managed to get them to start installing, but - after Windows has me confirm that I really want to install the driver, despite it's signature - the screen invariably goes black, and my computer shuts down instantly, in what I can only assume is a kernel panic.
This is incredibly frustrating, and I don't know what to do about it. I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. Can anyone help me?
