Installing new NVIDIA Drivers in Windows XP

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? 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!

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
Stefan

  • 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 ?

    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!

  • Overscan missing from new Nvidia Drivers - Mac MIni 2010

    So I was able to install new Nvidia drivers on my Mac mini 2010, however, there are no overscan options.. and my tv is connected via HDMI. Is there any workaround for this?

    The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
    A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:
    http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/maindownload.php
    a similar alternative is OpenOffice:
    http://www.openoffice.org/
    There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

  • 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?

    all these drivers support Windows 7, 32 bit
    * drivers that support Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit
    BC 5.x drivers will cause problems. Have you considered using 4.0.4033 version. If your previous W8 installation continued to use BC 4.0.4033 drivers, they would work. Do you have the exact versions of drivers that you had on your previous W8 installation?

  • JRE 1.3.1_02 does not work with new Nvidia drivers - HELP!

    I am a user and not a developer but this problem really does bite the big one. I have had installed JRE 1.3.1 and have used it to run LimeWire file sharing program for a long time (LimeWire is a java program from www.limewire.com) and also use it to see java applets on web pages in IE 6.
    I have since upgraded my Nvidia video drivers to version 2.8.3.2 which is the latest official release at this time from Nvidia. Since doing this I have no java at all anymore. Limewire refuses to run at all and there is an error report generated in it's resident directory. If I go to http://java.sun.com, IE hangs and then dissappears, leaving a bug report on my desktop. It seems that JRE does not like the new NT OpenGL dll at all in the new Nvidia drivers and will not run at all. The dll that causes the problem is:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvoglnt.dll
    I upgraded JRE to version 1.3.1_02 because Sun says this is the latest version and runs on XP which is what I have. Still java does not run at all anymore and I get the same bug reports. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem? This really stinks because now I cannot use LimeWire at all and if any web page has java on it, it dissappears right away and there is no more browser on my desktop. The only way I can even visit http://java.sun.com is if I use a Java blocking applet to filter out java applets on web pages.
    Please address this issue in JRE development and release a patch for it or a workaround.
    Thank you for reading this.

    Chuck,
    I stumbled in here looking for help, I am a PC user,
    not a coder or developer (How sad. <g>). I checked for
    updates to the Nvidia driver (none), Windows XP (not
    at this time), and DirectX 8.1 (not at this time,
    these come on the XP updates page so far as I know.)
    Not too suprising...
    I have no idea of how to implement your suggestion on
    how to disable the JMV use of DirectX overal in my XP
    envornment. I guess that using Internet Explorer 6 to
    see web pages with Java on them are pretty much out of
    the question for now but I would be happy as a clam if
    I could get my LimeWire application going again.
    LimeWire is called via a desktop or Start menu
    shortcut in this fashion:
    Target Box: C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -cp .
    RunLime
    Start In (directory): "C:\Program Files\LimeWire 1.7"
    So it appears that java is called via the javaw.exe
    file and passes a cp argument (whatever that is), then
    there is a period separator (dunno why) and then the
    "RunLime" statement that calls up the LimeWire
    program.to implement the suggestion, simply add -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true between "javaw.exe" and "-cp" separating it from them by a space on each side. Your result should look something like this:
    c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -cp . RunLime
    >
    I cannot see any need for fancy graphic acceleration
    or DirectX being called to play for this application
    since it is basicly a file manager that shares.
    Nothing fancy about it.It's not the application choosing to do this, but Java itself. Java GUI applications specifically those who use the Swing GUI classes (like LimeWire, if I recall) automatically leverage DirectX. This is really valuable for Swing applications since they emulate Windows (or Mac or Motif) GUI widgets rather than using them, making fast access to display buffers important to ensure best performance.
    >
    Do you have any idea of how to pass your
    "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" statement to disable
    DirectX into the above call to start java and
    LimeWire?See above.
    >
    Hanging by the edge of my seat, waiting for more input
    on this. Thank you for your time and suggestions.

  • Clean install: which nVidia drivers

    Hi,
    I should revceive my K8N Neo2 tomorrow and I was wondering: should I install the nVidia drivers available on MSI's homepage (v5.03) or the ones available on nVidia's homepage (v. 5.10) ?
    Franck

    The motherboard comes with a driver cd and a floppy .
    The floppy i got was labled NVSA020 and is the IDE/RAID drivers (2.5) on diskette
    which you need when installing windows to a sata / raid .
    If you are not needing the win install with press F6 to load raid drivers just forget about the floppy diskette .
    Otherwise just prepare a new empty one and copy the following files to it (2.6) :
    Files found from the extracted 5.10 file under nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_international\IDE\WinXP
    [raidtool]
    disk1
    idecoi.dll
    nvata.cat
    nvatabus.inf
    NvAtaBus.sys
    nvcoi.dll
    nvide.nvu
    nvraid.cat
    nvraid.inf
    nvraid.sys
    nvraidco.dll
    NvRaidEnu.dll
    NvRaidMan.exe

  • Unable to install latest Nvidia drivers. (GT72)

    I just got my GT72 in the mail and now I'm about setting it up.
    When I tried installing the latest Nvidia drivers (340.52-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe)
    and the setup failed with an error that it can't find any compatible graphic adapter.
    The Nvidia drivers that was running on the GT72 was 333.something, I don't remember.
    I tried uninstalling this driver that I had just the "Microsoft basic VGA adapter", but the Nvidia Setup is still not working.
    And yes, I was making sure that I switched the graphics to NVIDIA before installing the driver.
    Any suggestions?

    Follow these steps to do s fresh clean installation of any version of nvidia drivers:-
    Press "Windows Key" + "R" together and type %temp% then press "Ok".
    In that new window, press “Ctrl” + “A” together to select all the files and folders
    Then press “Shift” + “Delete” to remove them. (leave few files which you are not able to delete)
    Try "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) " to completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store) :
    http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
    1. Better to create a "system restore" point before using it.
    2. You do NOT need to uninstall "NVIDIA Graphics" drivers before using DDU
    3. Open the link and click on "Download" button. It will open another page, select the topmost "Download" button for the latest version.
    4. Then run : "DisplayDriverUninstaller.exe" file
    5. It will give you a notice to create "Restore Point", so better to create one ( if not created earlier ).
    6. Click "No" when it asks "Reboot in safe mode now ?"
    7. Select Nvidia from the dropdown menu on the top, Select all the 5 checkboxes there. Then click on "Clean and Restart" button.
    8. try "Perform Clean Installation" while installing the latest driver

  • How do i install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP

    when i try to install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP i get a error message saying that it only works for windows 7. I've ran windows XP on my computer so i know it works so why wont it work now.

    Were you running Lion on your computer when you installed XP and it worked? How new is your iMac?
    It appears you updated the OS. This is a major change from what you had previously. So the fact that it ran previously is somewhat irrelevant.

    wow - this is my story also... I have been up and down the street with my MSI 6800GTs (in SLi) and they do not OC worth a damn... I am pretty bummed out due to the money, time, blood, sweat, and tears I have shovled into this rig and I only get stock...  essentially... I have tried all the OC'ing utilities, different power supplies, volt modding... and I think it's got to be some bios setting or maybe the one piece GPU memory cooler design... the GPU and memory both heating this thing... I don't think it works that well... honestly... I have been around the net, on many forums... and the only peeps who have /any/ luck with OC'ing these MSI 6800GTs are water cooled... anyways... I have spent soooo much time on this and for that reason alone I doubt I will be buying MSI products in the future, but I would still like to find a solution which allows me to push my $900 worth of video cards to ultra speeds.   I am really considering going with water cooling... but I really don't want to deal with the hassles of it right now... what I would really like to find or buy are some 6800 Ultras reference design coolers to install on my GTs... I think a lot of this inabillty to OC well is heat related... I know I can get 10mhz more out of my cards when my room is cool....  I have a LOT of air on these cards... and good ventilation... I have my system stats in another post on this forum entitled "nx6800GT OC issues in SLi" or something like that.  Good luck man, and I will let you know if I find a solution for this.

  • 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.

  • Older Mobo/Newer Nvidia Drivers

    Having some weird issues with the newest nvidia ethernet driver (67.89), here is my system specs on this 2+ year old system:
    MSI P6N Plat (BIOS 1.7)
    Q6600@stock speed
    4gig RAM@800mhz
    Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
    I decided to upgrade all the nforce drivers to the latest, and after the 15.25 installer removed the nforce ethernet, it rebooted and
    continued the install with the newest drivers. Now I usually set the network connection to show when it's connected in the taskbar. When the computer boots into windows with the new driver, this icon doesn't pop up, and when I try to load a web browser, it acts as if
    there is no connection. As soon as I open up the Network Connections or device manager areas, the icon will pop up and I can then connect. I have never had this much of a delay in loading this driver at bootup. If I sit at the desktop and do nothing, the icon/connection never shows up.
    So I went back to the MSI site, and I see they currently list an older version of the nforce drivers for this board still, so I downloaded those, and only chose to install the ethernet driver (67.15). Now I'm back to having my adapter/connection load up right away, but this is with a mismatch of nvidia drivers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with the new drivers, or doesn't have these issues with the new nvidia driver. It may work better with a fresh OS install, but since I got it working the way it was, I'd rather not do a reinstall just for the new driver. I'm not having any other issues with the system.

    Yes, I was hoping not to break anything, but the risk was low (lower than a BIOS update for sure). Usually when issues do arise, the first thing someone asks is "Do you have the latest drivers?". While nothing was broke, my main hope was for slightly better performance than before, which we are all trying to get out of our rigs.
    I was wondering if anyone here with the same motherboard might have run into this too. I guess I'm more worried I will end up doing a fresh reinstall one day a few years from now and only have access to the latest drivers, and wonder what the issue is. I'll probably be installing a different OS at that time anyways.
