Can't install new nVidia driver 301.42

I have the Lenovo U410 and the nVidia control panel tells me a new driver update is available, version 301.42 for the 610M card. I have the 295.53 installed. But when I download the driver, it says I can't install because there isn't a compatible card. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Well I think you should try this driver instead
It's 304.79, and I know it's for Windows 8, but it works anyway.
It is the 64 bit version, so if it says it's incompatible, then here's a link for the 32 bit as well

  • GP60: After installing new NVIDIA driver, no brightness controls work now.

    Hey guys! I have a small problem I'm hoping someone might know how to fix. I just installed a new NVIDIA driver update (I'm now on build ) and now my brightness controls won't work. My computer is stuck in a very bright setting, and I don't know how to fix it. I've restarted the computer, and I've put it into hibernation and restarted it.
    Before i did the hibernation, my computer was stuck in GPU mode (it would only use the GPU, even if all I was doing was using PowerPoint). The hibernation/restart fixed that, but not my brightness. Not sure if the problems are related, but throwing that in there too just in case.
    I also don't know if this is related as well, but my NVIDIA control panel will not work either; it says that I don't have a display that uses it or something like that. Again, probably TMI, but better safe than sorry!
    I'd appreciate any advice that I could get! Thanks!
    Specs:
    MSI GP60
    intel i5-4200
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M/2 GB DDR3 (my problem child today).
    Update: Now my computer is back in GPU-only mode and nothing is helping it swap out of it. I'm thinking the two are related now...

    Have you installed the Intel graphic driver?
    The hot key for brightness is controlled by EC & Intel graphic driver.
    Please refer to the product webpage to download the latest Intel graphic driver:
    http://www.msi.com/search/gp60/product/1
    Pick your model and select Download and your OS type to find the drivers.

  • [Solved]Error after installing new nvidia driver uninstalling nouveau

    Hi,
    On seeing that a new nvidia driver is available, I thought I'll give it a try as the older ones kept crashing/rebooting in kde and gnome.
    I got nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman. During that there was a conflicting file with libgl, so I had to remove nouveau and then install nvidia. I got an error saying need to unload module from xserver to install and would be possible on reboot or something similar(dont exactly remember the error)
    Then I rebooted and x failed to start with errors ending up with "GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors. "
    I tried "sudo modprobe nvidia" and it gave me
    FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6-----/nvidia/nvidia.ko) No such device
    I tried looking up these errors and didnt get any proper answer or solution.
    On my own attempts I saw I had inserted a module called nouveau in mkinitcpio.conf, I removed that but didnt help either. Read at a few forums and arch-wiki to run "nvidia-xconfig". The command creates a xorg.conf in X11. But on reboot nothing happened, same errors. Later I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both xorg and nvidia in hope something was wrong with the xorg which could get reset with a reinstall but that didnt do it
    The new nvidia driver is 275.19
    Config:
    i7 720QM
    8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
    Nvidia GTX 260M 1 GB
    Its a Alienware m15x.

  • Satellite L650-1M0 - CAN'T install new display driver

    Hello!
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-1M0 and i CAN'T install new drivers to my graphic card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD site. Why i cannot do it? I want to install the latest display drivers because i have problems with display mode. My laptop is set on 16:9 but some programs display in 4:3.
    Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what should i do to download drivers from AMD site. I have Windows 7 64x ;).

    >Why i cannot do it?
    Im really wondering you are asking something like this. It is well known that support for mobile units (notebooks) is offered by notebook manufacturer and not by hardware manufacturer.
    Due to specific notebook design and limited cooling performance graphic card cannot be upgraded as on graphic cards designed for desktops. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be graphic card damage or switch-offs because of critical hardware temperature.

  • Satellite A660-07U - Can't install new display driver

    When I first got my laptop it wouldn't even boot out the box! So I googled the way to get it up and running and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32bit, so I installed Windows 7 64bit and that worked.
    I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them constantly. I have done the Bios update and it is still doing it. So I decided to try updating the graphics drivers with the new ones from this website, but it seems they wont install. I got the Windows 7 64bit drivers first as I have Windows 7 64bit installed in my laptop. But it says it cant find the required hardware, I figured its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should that even matter?
    So I then tried the 32bit drivers and it says im using wrong system os for those drivers.
    So how about some drivers I can use?

    Hello
    > it didn't work out the box
    Why it didnt work? What problems you had exactly?
    > The X64 drivers for download will NOT work on my A660, says something about not the right hardware (which is where I got the 3D idea from)
    Well, in my opinion it has nothing to do with 3D support. If you can find new driver updates for Satellite A660 they should work because they are tested by Toshiba.
    As far as I know there is no A660 model with 3D support, thats only available on A665.
    Fact is that 32bit drivers never work on 64bit operating systems. So just forget this point.
    Satellite A660/07U seems to be an Australian model and belongs to PSAW3A series. On the Australian page there is only one display driver available for Windows 7 64bit
    What you can try is the display driver from European page where you can find a similar model PSAW3E:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    On this page I could found two driver version: 260.51 and 189.58. As far as I know latter one works properly without freeze.
    > You could have just said you don't know the answer or are you always this condescending?
    You want some help or not? ;)
    I mean I also didnt know that you are still use the Windows 7 installation from Toshiba, you only wrote about new Windows 7 installation.
    Anyway, it was simple misunderstanding.

  • Re: Satellite P500-12F - Can't install new nVidia display driver

    Good evening,
    I am sorry for a stupid question, but I just do not know what to do. I have Satellite P500-12F.
    I wanted to download newer graphics drivers for the NVidia card, so I went to the NVidia website and downloaded a new driver, which is dated back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is of July 2009 However, when I try to install it, the system says that theya are no hardware which is compatible with the new driver.
    Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

    I have deleted the pre-installed graphic driver, and tried to replace it with a newer driver from the NVidia site. The installation was not successful, and now, thanks to You, I know why. I have already went to the Toshiba site and downloaded the driver from HERE .
    I have installed it, and everything goes well, as it used to be. Could You tell me, is the driver which I have installed from the Toshiba site the newest one? And how often do they update this kind of laptop drivers?
    Thank You all for Your help, it is really valuable for me! :)

    Hello, all, my ipod touch is now working. Here's what happened...I called the tech support line and started going through the automated stuff. It started me with the reset which I had done numerous time. It then mentioned trying a different USB port. I figured it was a waste of time, but then I decided what the heck, so I tried the other usb port on the front of my pc. When I did this, it recognized the ipod in ituned and gave me a mssg that it needed to be restored. I clicked on the restore link, and minutes later it gave me an error message on the restore, and the ipod showed the apple on the sreen instead of the itunes logo with the usb cord. I then tried it back in the original usb port, and received the same windows prompt to try to install drivers that I had been getting all along. I put it back in the second USB port, and got the restore message again with it being recognized in itunes. This time it successfully completed the restore. I know it sounds simple, but if you have not tried a different USB port, be sure you do. Maybe the download jacked up my USB port? Anyway, I'm working again with the 2.2.1 download. Good luck to all!!

  • GNOME3 is not working well after install the nvidia driver

    I changed my graphic device from intel (integrated in i5 sandy bridge) to nvidia (GTX550 Ti).

    I ignored it and installed nvidia package using pacman.
    After that, I installed new nvidia driver but GNOME is not working properly.

    I have no big issues with gnome3 and nvidia, in case you haven't, make sure your xorg.conf is correct or you can let nvidia make it for you, just backup/delete your current one (if any) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … figuration

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

  • Just installed new hard drive in mac book pro 15", when trying to boot OSX from original disk I still get a folder with a question mark in it. How can I reinstall the OS?

    Can't seem to get my mac book to boot from the CD after installing new hard drive.
    I keep holding down "c" while restarting the machine with the disk in but it just keeps ejecting the disk and giving me a folder with a question mark.

    If your on 10.5 with a Intel Mac, I think Apple has jinxed the firmware so you can't boot from the 10.5 disk anymore.
    So far several people, myself included, can't boot from a 10.5 OS X disk on a Intel Mac.
    Your going to have to buy a 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, it's wayyy better than 10.5 anyway, faster and most stable even better than Lion. Have to buy iLife though as it doesn't come on the 10.6.3 retail disks, only free with grey disks.

  • MSI driver - new NVidia driver: MSI Info/Clock

    Hi,
    I first used the MSI driver for my new MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP. I don't use any other MSI software.
    I now uninstalled this old NVidia (MSI) driver and installed the new NVidia driver. The "MSI Information" and "MSI Clock" tab remain. Do they still work (D.O.T. , etc)?
    Can these 2 tabs only be installed with the MSI driver on the CD that came with my card?
    Thanks!

    Quote from: MrBigA on 10-February-05, 23:31:35
    k tabs are controlled by msicpl.dll and will not removed, you will manually have to eradicate the file yourself. It should be in the windows directory but if you cannot find it just do a search."
    I now deleted the msicpl.dll from C:\WINDOWS but the tabs are still there.
    There is one more msicpl.dll in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
    Which one is the right one? Both? Or is one from Microsoft? Can I savely delete the one in \SYSTEM32 ? Should I restore the one in \WINDOWS?
    Thanks!
