"GPU enhancements/display driver" error with NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS

I am currently evaluating a demo of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. I am using a NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS video card. When I open the application, I get this error:
Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disables GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.
Here's the thing - the NVidia graphics driver I'm using is current! It's version 195.62. And here are the specifications of my video card (which is about a few years old).
I am using Windows XP Home 32-bit SP3 with 2GB of DDR2 memory. Processor is AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+.
I've read over the functionality that this error message affects, and I'm not sure I understand it. If my video card is using its most current driver, what the heck am I to do? How badly will this handicap my Adobe Photoshop experience? (For reference, I plan on not doing that much using the 3D capabilities of Photoshop - but it may be interesting one day.)
Also, one bug I'm experiencing is that the Layers window is present, but its contents don't appear unless I click on it.
I'm not sure if I'm open to buying a new video card just to satisfy my Photoshop needs. Any help is much appreciated in overcoming this error and enabling FULLY-operational functionality of Photoshop CS4. Thanks!

Here is a link that may help with old GPU's. Also ensure before you update the drivers that opengl is turned off otherwise PS will use the old drivers.

Display Driver Error (with up to date drivers)

Hello!
I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad R500 running Windows Vista.
I seem to be having an issue with my display driver. Everytime I open Adobe Photoshop, I get an error that photoshop has encountered an error with my display driver, and it does not display images properly (they seem to be very low resolution).
I checked my drivers, and everything is up to date. I even ran Windows Update just to be sure.
Can anyone provide any feedback on this?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply. I've done the Windows update and also gone into my device manager to check for updates. Everything says it is up to date.
If I set the Photoshop GPU mode to basic, will things still appear correctly? Also... how do I do that?
Steve - I've got enough VRAM. As far as the driver, it's the Mobile Intel (R ) 4 Chipset series. Is there another way to update this driver?
I guess I'm wondering why my driver seems up to date in all aspects, but Photoshop (CS 6) is telling me there is an issue with the driver.

Having trouble with gigabyte geforce 8600 gts not displaying in device manager

hey i recently got a gigabyte geforce 8600gts and i installed it in the pci-ex slot and its not found once i started up windows and windows did not prompt for found new hardware, could the vga card not function or is it the slot. there is power to the vga card because heatsink it warm to the touch so obviously running. i have entered bios to enable the pci express and windows still does not find new hardware. i have tried an old pci vga card and that one was found during startup. any help would be appreciated.

Get something decent, with 33A or more at 12V and you are set.
You can not get anything decent below 70 USD.
First off it was free and no not a 5 or 10 finger discount, new a guy from comp store who was discontinuing the psu and mine went out; so got for free.
i tried the 8600gts on different mobo an asus a8n32 gaming and got a post with the a-power 580w psu despite the +12v@ 19A rail; it just maybe my current mobo. i dont know if it is the slot or the bios. the bios itself is locked and the mobo was manufactured by msi but was apart of an e-machine desktop. so no oc'ing of anything already tried cpuz and ntune to name a few.

Nvidia Display Driver Error

New T61-CTO system, Vista 32 with Nvidia Quadro NVS140M that is not even a week old.
The system is very unstable, crashing almost daily with a display driver error. About half the time it is able to recover and I get the following message, "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding but has recovered.....". The other half the computer crashes to blue screen or just freezes with a corrupted display and I am forced to hard-power-off to restart. About 75% of the time the error occurs at startup, but sometimes just randomly while working.
There is lots of info about this driver problem online but mostly for different display adaptors on desktop systems. For the record I have the following display driver installed: 7.15.11.5685 and it is dated 12/10/07. Nvidia does not provide support for this display adaptor and refers you to the system manufacturer. Strangely, the driver on the Lenovo site is 7.15.11.0145 and dated 7/12/07, not sure why my system shipped with a driver that is not listed on the support site.
Any information on resloving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi WillThePill, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
I come up with a newer driver version 7.15.11.7693 2009/01/13 on the Lenovo support site:

New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
What is Mercury Playback Engine?
What's CUDA?
Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
Thanks very much!
Greetings!

Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others. If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
2. Pro - PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
Con - Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
3. Pro - newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling" and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
Good Luck !

HT203254 My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

I tried last week. The best I could get was a discount on the repair, but the damage to my logic board by the GPU caused it to no longer boot. The program ended in December last year, but it has been extended in the past.
If you have no other damage you might be able to get a flat rate tier 1 repair if you are in the USA.

HT203254 mac book pro 2008 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor...

Hi,
I just want to know if my mac book pro 2008 15" with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor can be changed or repaired?My Mac doesnt have display on it...Sometimes it shows up...but after a while its black screen again..tnx

It's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long.

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

This laptop I am on right vnow has a n nVidai GTX 765M and it works beautifully on Premiere CS6, CC and CC 2014. You do have to add it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_cards.txt file or simp[ly delete it. I hope you know that you have to be plugged in to the AC line to successfully what to edit with a laptop. Also you can improve the GPU performance if you reset the memory clock on the GPU to 1500 MHz from the default 1000 MHz. It is because nVidia.slows down the clock to conserve battery. If you register on the site you can see my results on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) site.

Flickering screen on 13" MBP 2010 with NVIDIA GeForce 320M

Did anyone experience display issues with his / her 13" MacBook Pro (2010) with NVIDIA GeForce 320M? I've been using mine for several weeks and every now and then, the display starts flickering and I have no clue why. Unfortunately, the problem is not easily reproducible and the hardware test from the shipped DVD doesn't report any problem.

I did no longer experience the issue unfortunately / fortunately. No idea what was causing it.
My MacBook Pro is now at Gravis for repair because the left command key keeps popping out. According to the technician there the key itself is broken and he doubts that I can have it repaired under warranty. Questionable quality if keys break during normal usage. It's also the first keyboard in my life that breaks and I really don't hammer on the keys. Maybe I will end up ordering a replacement key on eBay.

Running ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Possible?

Can I run the ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT together in my mac pro?

The X1900 would have to go in double wide slot, you would have to run one or both at 8x.
I think something like ATI 2600 might make more sense. The 8800GT is listed as discontinued (have a thread or two about it being EOL). So unless you have the 8800GT may not be an option anyway.
The 4870 + 2600 combo would be best I can think of for us with 1st gen now.
This assumes you simply need to drive 3 monitors. And don't want to wait and see if the Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 (doubtful) will support 1st gen EFI32's.

Have a Sony Viao E series and get an "imcompatible display driver" error message

Get an "Incompatible Display Driver" error message when attempting to use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a Sony Vaio E series laptop.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks

I Googled, and Sony says that is a discontinued model, so I can't find a specification page
Amazon does have a couple models, and BOTH say motherboard integrated Intel graphics adapter
That makes me think the laptop discussed here has Intel AND AMD graphics adapters
To the OP (Original Poster) Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
If YES, read below

Dc7900 crashes and has display driver error

Hello,
Just bought this off lease unit and the computer keeps crashing. When it doesnt crash it has issues with the display at times and recovers saying that there was a display driver error and that it was recovered.
Any idea on how to fix this? The comp was originally visa but now has windows 7 32bit business on it. My action center for windows 7 says on the maintenance tab that my intel graphics driver has stopped working what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

Hi again dasuncj,
Thank you for the quick reply!
So that I can better diagnose the error message with your specific brand of HP Pavilion 06, I will need to know both the model and product number. This can be found by using this video below:
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!

Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

I have a Macbook Core Du0 1.83ghz running 10.6.3. Each time I watch a video on youtube or watching Flash or other multimedia animations, my fan run super fast.
Is it the same with the new Macbook with the Nvidia Geforce graphic card?
Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

Watching videos taxes the GPU and CPU. That's why the fan runs faster - to cool the computer. When you aren't doing much the fan slows down. This is true of all the laptops regardless of which GPU is involved.
Since you have the first generation MB model, it runs hotter than later models that incorporated some changes to the cooling system making the fan run faster during idle. You can accomplish a similar result using the third-party fan control software, SMCFanControl - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. It can be used to increase the fan's idle speed to 2000 RPM. This won't make the fan run any slower when the computer heats up.
