Cannot update nvidia drivers after installing bootcamp drivers

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to start again a topic that in my view has been treated many times, in many forums but HAS NOT been solved so far...I looked over many forums over the week end and tried a number of "tricks"
I'm running Windows 7 Pro Sp1 32bits on a MacbookPro 17 - intel core duo with two graphic cards but for better performance running the Nvidia GeForce 9600m GT
I have installed Windows 7 this week and then Bootcamp 4.0 - thus i have now Bootcamp drivers, ie 261.41
I have installed Battlefield 3 which asked me to update drivers to at least 285.27
I downloaded them from Nvidia site 285.27 AND 285.38 (m version - notebook) but when i start the indatllation i get the message "hardware not comptatible"
So far i have tried 1) to install non-beta older versions but higher than 261.41 (which is by the way only available on bootcamp) - it does not work 2) uninstall nvidia drivers, restarting windows with VGA driver and install newest nvidia drivers - it does not work;
What i have not tried (as it was not clear on other forum): 1) replace an INF file? - i did not understand what i have to do here 2) update other drivers? mobility? ATA? - i'm not sure what people were talking about here?
SORRY MY MESSAGE IS LONG BUT I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP - and want to play battlefield 3 that i pre bought by the way... ;-)

Hi,
I make this post as I found a way to solve my issue and this could be interesting to other people:
1. Download the latest nvidia drivers (285.38) on nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?
2. Launch the .exe it will unpack the package in one folder: most likely NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/285.38/WinVista_Win7/International
3. Your installation will be cancelled through "hardware not compatible" - no worries you still have the unpacked stuff.
4. Go to http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/win7x32/285.38/disclaimer and click on "Click here to download the modified INF file." on the bottom - this will download a file called nvwi.inf - copy it
5. Go to the unpacked folder and go to the folder named Display.Driver - paste the nvwi.inf - it will replace the actual one
6. On the root folder (International) click on setup and you will be allowed to install the drivers - note that i have accepted during installation two times that it install drivers not "allowed by windows" (different topic)
Hope this helps.

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software. Regards Doug

Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
Cheers

Windows would not load anymore after installing bootcamp drivers

Hello,
I had been running Mountain Lion and Windows 8 flawlessly for many months until I ran out of Hard drive space on the Windows side so I decided to wipe both hard drives (put one in place of disk drive) and start with clean installs of both (poor life decision). I had a heck of a time installing windows 8 this time since I longer had a internal SuperDrive. But I fonally got it to install after many hours trying to do it via a usb drive. It installed properly from an external drive and rEFIt. Immediately after installing Windows 8 I installed the latest bootcamp drivers and played inwindows 8 for an hour or so but installed nothing else. after powering down Windows 8 will no longer load I am assuming due do an issue with bootcamp drivers although it may be a fluke since it was working before. I am guessing I just need to try again but after all the headaches I figured I would post here and see if anyone had any thoughts or solutions.
Thank You,
David M.

XP is an old and non-supported by Microsoft operating system. So there is no support, security updates, etc. Why are you installing XP?
Whenever you install any version of Windows you need to install anti virus. Microsoft Security Essentials is all you need and it is free.

Update NVIDIA drivers for 9600 GT M?

Hi,
I have a MBP Unibody late 2008 and am trying to update my nvidia drivers in Bootcamp (Win7) but the nvidia site doesn't refer to the cards as 9600 GT, it refers to them as series and I don't know which one is the corresponding one to my card!
Can someone please let me know which to select?
Thanks!
P.S. I have already tried going into the hardware manager and updating the drivers directly there. They appear to update but then games tell me there is an update required from nvidia site.
Cheers!

Here's the link for the Dox release if you are running 32bit windows vista or win 7 http://files.laptopvideo2go.com/Dox/Vista/VistaWin7x86_185.85.exe
Here's the link for the Dox release if your running 64bit windows vista or win 7
http://files.laptopvideo2go.com/Dox/Vistax64/VistaWin7x64_185.85.exe
Download the file that applies to you and run it in windows and follow the onscreen instructions. When it asks you which configuration you have select hybrid sli, as hardware wise that is what you have despite apple not activating it.
Hope this helps.

Does HP update Nvidia drivers?

Hi, I have an HP Envy 15, and I noticed that apparently the drivers from Nvidia's website will not work, and I have to download them from HP's website? Does HP update the drivers? It seems that the drivers on HP's website are a much older version than the newest on Nvidia's website. Is there a 3rd party that makes them compatible for HP notebooks? Thanks!

Welcome to the HP forum, General.
Commentary
HP provides extensive testing, retesting, and more testing for drivers and software used in its consumer and commercial computers. The drivers must work with HP software, hardware, and in a variety of situations.
The revision process is a long one, and the driver versions that are deemed compatible and tested are those that are available for HP notebook computers and other devices.
This is not only true of the NVIDIA drivers, but for other drivers as well.
This is true for all computer manufacturers -- each provides testing for their own systems so a given version of the software will work on that manufacturer's computer.
Because the drivers and software must be tested and proven to work in a BUNCH of (HP) systems and under a bunch of different situations, the versions available to the customer are might be behind (older) than what is available at the hardware manufacturer's website for the same product line.
I do not know if HP outsources this testing -- at one time, at least, I am pretty sure it was all done in-house.
Disclaimer: I do not work for HP.

Problems after installing Bootcamp 3.1

Hello everyone.
I had installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate in a Bootcamp partition. I used the SL disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 which, with some audio related problems which were solved by changing the drivers, worked well. All sounds played, the graphics card behaved normally, etc.
Recently I got the alert of a Bootcamp update, 3.1, as we all know. After installing it without a hitch, small problems began to pop up.
First, no Windows startup sound played anymore, and there has been no way for me to make it work again. I've gone to countless forums and gone through an endless barrage of suggestions, including a complete formatting, but it always leads back to the same, isolated problem: Startup sound plays in BT 3.0, doesn't play anymore in BT 3.1.
But more importantly, after pretty much giving up with the startup sound issue (it's only that particular sound, in the login screen, so I decided to ignore it's absence), more problems appeared. Initially, all system tray icons appeared swiftly. Now the main ones, Sound, Wireless Connection and Battery appear fast, but the rest take at least 5 minutes to appear. This is again something that wasn't present in Bootcamp 3.0.
Yet another problem, this one I consider is the most important, and the real reason for this post of mine, is that Bootcamp 3.1 brought a serious driver problem with my Macbook Pro's 9400M video card. Doing the most stupid of tasks such as opening the video card's control panel from the Desktop gives me the following error:
"The NVIDIA Display Panel extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling the drivers may solve this problem."
Now, the Device Manager shows no errors in hardware-driver smoothness in any aspect, yet it's clear that the driver that BT 3.1 installs for the video card was either faulty or old, or for another OS. I went to NVIDIA's site to manually get the driver, but it turns out that they offer no NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 64 bit. So I wonder, how come it worked before? Because in Bootcamp 3.0 the Control Panel would open flawlessly.
So this is serious. Gaming has also turned into a nightmare, since the problem with the video card negatively affects the smoothness of the gameplay. Apple, things weren't working 100% with BT 3.0, but BT 3.1 far from making things better just got everything worse.
I ask everyone here if there is a known solution. Should I install the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 32 bit? Why doesn't the driver installed by BT 3.1 function as it should when it's supposed to be covering Windows 7 compatibility? Why are the barrage of audio errors present in BT 3.1 and not in BT 3.0? What happened with my startup sound?
Apple, you're offering the possibility for your users to user Windows for compatibility and gaming. You market your Macs are fully compatible and flawless even running Windows. Don't come about saying this is not your problem, it is. It's your drivers, you develop them, you give them to us. If they don't work, you must do something about it. If not, then stop offering the Bootcamp service completely. If you're gonna do something, do it well.

HT4623 I cannot update my apps after upgrade to IOS8

I downloaded and installed IOS8 on IPad and IPhone. Now I cannot update my apps.

No one knows why.
There are three options for folks
Use the purchased tab in iTunes to manually find each update and download it one at a time.
Use iTunes on your computer to find and download the updates then sync them onto your device (presuming you regularly sync to a computer)
Just wait it out and update when Apple fixes the issue.

Cannot connect to database after installing 10g

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
after installing Oracle 10g, I am trying to use programs like SQL*Plus or Forms Builder. However, these programs are asking me for the host string, and:
- I cannot simply ignore this question, because I cannot connect without this information.
- But I don't know how I can configure a host string for local access.
- And I don't know if there's already a default host string for me to use after installing Oracle 10g, because I have no practice in database configuration, since I'm a developer.
Please help me.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hi ,
Few pointers which may help you , but a small caveat all instructions pertaining to way we do internally in oracle , so there could be some mismatch at customer end , but more or less logic should be same , in case you can't any step revert back :
1. When Db asks you for connect string essentially it asks for the complete description of the db to connect including :
Db server machine name / ip - that can be resolved from your system if it's a remote server .
Username , Password ,
Db Instance Name - TnsAlias mentioned in TnsNames.ora .
Now there are few Env. variables that you need to set before running / starting an oracle db instance .
1. Oracle_Home - Essentially Oralce Installation directory .
2. Oracle_sid - unique identifier for Oracle Instance .
3. For OracleDb only set T_Work and TNS_ADMIN env. variables as %Oracle_Home%\work directory and place your Listener.ora file in that folder .
4. Make your initial parameter file init<Oracle_Sid>.ora in %Oracle_Home%\database -- default location .
5. Create Oracle Instance specific services to run on a Windows machine , essentially they will be two and default nomenclature is :
Oracle Service - OracleService<Oracle_Sid>
Listener Service - Oracle<oracle_sid>TnsListener
Now in %Oracle_Home%\bin directory you have couple have tools to help you in whole process including lsnrctl.exe , tnsping.exe , sqlplus.exe .
and onec you start oracle instance like this :
SQlPlus "/as sysdba" -- OS Authentication
--- Connected to Idle instance
Sql> startup --> this will take default parameter file
Check out dump location for log and trace files generated if enabled .
Now client setting :
1. This is the place where you need appropriate connect string with all components as mentioned above .
Check out any good site for exact syntax , but you need to make sure regarding client you are using for e.g:
ODP.Net , Java Driver etc .
For Client few important settings :
Execution directory should contain tnsnames.ora
Create T_WORK and TNS_ADMIN for execution directory .
check out for listener connectivity using :
tnsping <TnsAlias>
Imp -- Include all relevant stuff in System PATH for execution from anywhere .
Once it connects tehn you can use appropriate username / password for connecting with appropriate connection string .
Normally while installing oracle you would have set the username and password to be changed later .
or otherwise onec you log in as sysdba, you can create new username/password and give it sysdba permissions .
Also imp. thing for connecting from a remote system is having Sqlnet.ora authentication file in client's T_WORK and TNS_ADMIN .
I hope it helps upto some extent .
regards ,

How to update PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X?

I need to update my PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X, and if not find a way to run them on Lion using a patch, emulator, converter or otherwise? All help appreciated, thanks for reading. Please note, I do not curretny have a hard-copy of Lion or Snow Leopard.
I feel Apple has really let its users down by creating all these compatiblity problems. Myself along ith many other Mac users have to spend valuable time and money, which we won't get back just trying tto find solutions to these problems. It really does lower my opinion of Apple.

Use your System Discs you got with your computer and return your system to it's previous state with your last Time Machine Backup. If you were on Snow Leopard and have lost your discs then ring Apple and you can probably get a replacement set for a nominal fee.
Good Luck

Long, long loading time after installing bootcamp to OSX

I installed bootcamp on my Mac OSX (MBP) in order to have access to Windows 7 programs. After a week, OSX was really really slow loading. After searching online, I decided to turn Spotlight off from searching partitioned drives. This worked great until today - it's happening again. I can't even open applications on OSX its so slow and the multi coloured pinwheel is constantly spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to go out and buy a second laptop because of this...

How much is free, relatively (it may be 250 free bot free out of what?).
OSX needs 15% free to use during routine operations. Doing BootCamp must account for this 15%.
Just asking again annd stating why to be sure.
