NVIDIA nForce4 system driver

When installing the system drivers from mainbord cd, is it best not to install the NVIDIA IDE SW component as I am told it will cause problems.In fact what components should be installed and which left out? Is it possible to leave any out? Ihave MSI K8N NE04-F1 mainboard, 1x 512M dimm,AMD athlon 64. Many thanks.

You may have to install the chipset drivers and that is very important. Only when you have properly installed the chipset drivers, other drivers then could be installed and work well.Now I guess that there should be some other reason to bring the issue. Maybe you could have a try to download the mainboard's drivers from msi or Nvidia website.
he was refering to the IDE SW component of the drivers. i totally agree with bg84 on this one. load it if you need s-ata2 functionality for your harddrives, but if you don't need it, you're better off without.

Hello!
I have same problem. I have tried to update it whit live-updata and for manually. When I install it, everything seems to goes okay, but after installing live-update shows that I still got v. 9.15.
I have allmost same mainboard than you, but ultra version. ( MSI nF570 ultra )
I have to ask, do you have had some problems while downloading? I have some problem in dual lan circuit. My computer shuts down if I download something in fast bit rate and do some browsing at the same time.
No, I'm not having the downloading problem.

Driver Conflict!!! NVIDIA nForce3 System Driver & SB Audigy ZS Driv

There is a driver conflict if you have both these drivers installed. I have an MSI K8N Neo2 mobo that requires the NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers to run a RAID array. Once I have both drivers installed (doesn't matter which order they were installed) there would be a conflict with "nvraidservice.exe" and an error message would appear at Windows startup. However, if I uninstall the Audigy drivers, everything is fine and dandy...except now, I won't be able to use the sound card. Please contact NVIDIA for a fix to this conflict. Is there anything I can do for now?
Thanks,
Jeff

I have spent quite a while trying to fathom this one out. Revised drivers may solve the problem but in the interim I found my own solution. This may not work for everyone, but the error messages have now gone for good. In short, I noticed that the order of loading the various processes on bootup is important, and the problem occurs when nvraidservice.exe loads too late. I found a number of shareware programmes that allow you to mess with the order of loading, but in the end the solution was even simpler. By chance, I noticed that I had been clicking on my user profile before the computer had finished loading all the processes. By letting the computer completely finish what it needed to do before going to my user profile (in windows xp), the problem disappears.
As I said, this may not work for everyone, but it has 00% solved it for me.

NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller: Windows 7 driver?

I have a Fujitsu Siemens PC, Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit,
which I would like to update (preferably without reinstall) to Windows 7.
When I checked Fujitsu's website and also by mail contact, I only got the response
"Your system is not certified for Windows 7"!
So I ran "Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor", which said that I can upgrade!
The only issue is that it requires an update to the driver for the
"NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller" [current version is 5.1.2600.158],
but Microsoft directs me to THIS site.
Here I search for a suitable driver for my motherboard, which according the tech spec's is
MB MS-7504PV (or MS-7504VP-PV) with chipset NVIDIA nForce 630i,
but no luck there. The MSI Live Update Online plug-in does not find anything on my Mainboard.
Over at NVIDIA's site I can find a driver for nForce 630i but only paired with GeForce 7xxx,
and I don't think I need a complete motherboard driver package.
Where can I find the correct driver?
Or do I dare try a Windows 7 update anyway?
What can go wrong?
PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
M-board: Fujitsu Siemens / MSI MB MS-7504PV, muATX, v1.1, Socket 775
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP73PV
BIOS: AMI v3.0S
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
LAN: nForce Realtek RTL8211
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

You do not have an MSI Retail Product but a mainboard produced exclusively for the OEM Market. Neither MSI nor this forum provides end-user support for OEM products. That is also why MSI Live Update does not find anything for this particular platform (OEM). You need to contact Fujitsu Siemens for assistance (and this include BIOS Updates and drivers).

Xorg 1.8 - nvidia 96xx legacy driver

Since a few weeks I use Archlinux and I'was happy with it until my last upgrade. After this (incl. kernel 2.6.34 and xorg 1.8) I was lost in the dark. Googling learned me that the nvidia 96xx legacy driver (I have an old Geforce card) cannot cope with xorg 1.8 (yet??). Could this be better coordinated in the future?
If not, can someone please explain (in simple terms, I'm a newbie, what to do if such things happen).
Thanks in advance.

Good luck with the mistery.
I didn't use anything else to install nvidia-96xx, it was with pacman. nvidia-96xx is no longer on repos but it was when i made the setup. I dont see why they removed it. Works 100% good here on my SD plasma. Even with games and xbmc.

Do I need a fast system drive if i also have a RAID 0 array for media?

If my video and media files are all on a Fast RAID array then do i need a fast system drive?
Im building a system. The only thing on my system drive will be programs. And I will have a RAID array for my video and PSD files - but my System drive is an older UltraDMA EIDE133 250g Maxtor. This system drive is testing at 51mb/s Read, and 26mb/s write. (According to Blackmagic disk speed check program)
A New SATA drive tests at 53 write and 43 read. So should i bother upgrading my system drive to a RAPTOR 150 or stick with the older EIDE drive? Main Programs i use are Adobe After effects, premiere pro, Photoshop for uncompressed editing with blackmagic intensity.
Specs:
MB: Tyan K8WE
AMD Opteron 270 (dual)
4GB RAM.
Nvidia Quadro FX 560
Apple cinema Display 30'
4x500gb RAID array (2TB total) on Nvidia SATA motherboard controler.

Jeron,
Yes, you are probably.
- Its i either spend $900 dollars or $200.
The best possible Rig is this; I spend $500 dollars on a dedicated PCI-X RAID controller card. I buy a Raptor 150g system drive $200. And then buying another 3 drives to add to the RAID array of 2 disks i already have = $300.
Or option 2: My motherboard (K8WE) has 4 SATA-II ports. So I could set up a 4 disk raid with what i have right now and be achieving 210+ mb/s read and write. My system drive would be off the IDE/133 channel. Then i would only have to spend $200 on 2 disks.
I have been trying to decipher if it is logical to spend that much more money - when it is possible i will only achieve maybe 50 more Megabytes a second. - and have windows and programs start faster.
A part of me says - "any time i try to save money on something it comes with calamity and disaster". vs. a part of me that says - "you could get more bang for your buck".

Dv6809wm nvidia Ethernet Controller driver help me please.

My notebook is a dv6809wm. I am Korean, but also the This is South Korea.
After installing Windows 7, nvidia Ethernet Controller, driver can not find.
Windows xp, Vista, 7, installed it several times, nvidia Ethernet Controller driver can not find. Chipset nvidia 630a, installing, and even install sp37730, the Internet should not.
What should I do? You help me please.

This used to be a sticky post but should have your answers. Install the AMD chipset driver for the dv65zz and higher AMD models. This is a Vista driver and may have to be run in compatibility mode but will provide ethernet functionality:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-7-Upgrade-Guide-for-dv6...
It is a long post but the AMD chipset driver is near the top. I see you already tried SP37730 and it is not working for you so you may have to do a manual install by pointing the driver installer to the subfolder where sp37730 unzips, containing the ethernet and make it take the ethernet driver .inf file.
You may also want to try one of these drivers:
http://www.win-raid.com/t15f37-NVIDIA-Optimized-nForce-Driverpacks-for-Vista-Win.html
Use the ones labelled: 3. "Special MCP65-67 nForce Driverpacks for Vista/Win7"
Post back if you need more help with this.

Nforce system driver query

Hi,
Could someone tell me which is the latest/best Nforce system driver? Is it the 2.29 one on this site, or is there a better one somewhere? Basically I want the best driver.
Also, is the 2920 VGA driver on this site just the old Nvidia driver that is now up to 30.30?
Sorry, I'm just a bit confused.

hi
you can use any nvidia video driver
the msi are latest in a package
odd updates keep appearing on windows update

MSI K8N NEO3-F Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX

I must not have stated my problem clearly. When I built my computer I turned on the power from the back, and the case lit up. (power switch on PSU) I was excited because this was my first build. When the bios popped up, it did not detect my hard drive. I then shut down the computer. I resat the ATA cables heading to my hard drive. When I went to turn the computer back on, the PC wouldn't start. I tried resitting everything on my Computer. I tried using only one RAM, resat video card, CPU, and even tried resetting the cmos.
Eventually I found that if I pull the lithium battery from my motherboard, my computer will turn on. The computer will run without the battery, or if I resit the battery. The battery on a motherboard only deals with the bios and the time and such. It doesn't make any sense at all. I am going to test my powersupply tomarrow and then my video card on a laiter date. I have tried replacing the battery. Getting around this problem wass not hard, I have installed games that look phenomal. I was succesfully able to install my OS also. Resetting the bios on every load up is not fun.
My other recent problem has been with the video card though(this is why im going to test with another VC). When I resit the battery after shut down, and turn my PC back on, the Video Card over powers it self. For three minutes the monitor wont recognize my card and my card pushes as if it was running DOOM3. Finally it steadies out and the monitor turnes on. Please help me out if you have any good info for me. I'll try anything at this point. I'm not computer illeterate.
I am an Intern with TWC's IT departement. I am also going to school for computer science. The A++ side of computing I had never learned.
.......Every where I go with this problem, no one seems to know the answer. No one will even throw ideas at me. Someone please help me out
Heres my PC:
ASPIRE ATX-AS520W
MSI K8N NEO3-F Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX
AMD Athlon64 3200+
Sapphire Radeon X800Pro
Samsung Spinpoint 160GB
2*512 MB Crucial Memory

MaYBE I'm not really understanding the problem here...Are you trying to use the switch on the PSU to begin the boot process? If so, hopefully, you should continue to have trouble doing that, it's not supposeed to work that way. If the computer starts with the power switch on the PSU there might be a problem with the CMOS jumper, jbat1, being in the wrong position...continue to post your changes and progress and someone will continue to help you, there's a lot of good heads around here, but there's a lot of guys with problems too...add as much of your configuration info to your signature as you can find out, that will help us help you as well...

Upgraded nVidia GeForce 8800GTS Driver--Premiere Runs Slow Now

For four years, I was running the same nVidia driver and Premiere and other apps ran fine.
Recently though, a project I'm working on for a client required me to add some new fonts to my workstations. Adding these fonts, or any fonts at all, would work fine until the next reboot, at which point Windows XP would just BSOD with a fault in win32k.sys. A partition restore was necessary to bring back useful system.
After some research, it was suggested that I update the video driver. I did this, installing the current 285.58 version after uninstalling the old version, rebooting, then doing a clean installation. That solved the font problem--I can install fonts and reboot and the system comes up fine. But there's a new problem: GUI acceleration is disabled in Adobe and Quark applications.. The GUI takes several seconds to paint the screen now, and I cannot play video in Premiere anymore without severe sluggishness and dropping of most of the frames. Even QuarkXpress 8 is unusable, taking 6 seconds to paint just the rulers around a page! Any time I move something, the system refuses to accept input and the mouse pointer freezes and stutters for several seconds until the screen is done repainting.
I haven't seen these sort of problems since 1990, when I had my Diamond Speedstar VGA card on ISA 8-bit bus.
Does anyone know of a fix for this problem, or what is the most recent Adobe approved nVidia 8800 driver version? I can't work like this. But I can't install the fonts my client needs when the old driver is installed because of the BSOD after rebooting.

Mark,
Though I have personally not had issues with new drivers, I always try to keep a few nVidia drivers tucked away, just in case. However, and from time to time, others have hit upon "bad" drivers, and either a roll-back, or patience, until a new "good" driver is released, has helped them.
I also do not update my nVidia drivers all that often, and usually only when I begin experiencing a problem.
Good luck, and that BSOD is scary. While most BSOD's are hardware related, a system driver certainly CAN cause them too. On my workstation, all that I can recall HAVE been triggered by drivers, and most of those for something like a Maxtor external. I do not use their "one-button backup" function, but the drivers for that do get installed, and sometimes act up. I suppose that was once a good idea, but has bitten me a few times in the past.
Good luck, and wish that I had something that would help you. Please report how things go.

How to install Creative Cloud on any drive other than my System drive...

You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'
Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Bhagawan: Hi Steve
Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?
Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?
Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.
Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.
Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.
Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.
Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.
Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?
Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?
Steve: "left on C:"
Bhagawan: Give me a minute.
Bhagawan: Thank you.
Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

I had the same problem and finally solved it.
It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
3. Be happy
Hope I helped

How can I get "all my files" to recognize files in a non system drive?

I use a Mac Pro with four internal drives, OSX 9.2. My system drive is an SSD so I keep user files on another drive in an adjacent bay.
Files in my non-system disc are not displayed in the "all my files" finder view. If I copy a file from the system disc to my user disc, the copy is not recognized, and when I trash the original, of course, there is no reference to either. If I search, spotlight finds it. This behavior seems to apply to all files and is regardless of anything selected in the sidebar before "all my files". I have not marked any files, folders or drives as private. I presume I must have a set a pref wrong. I would really appreciate any advice.
Thank you.

To change the program that .indd files default to when opened in OSX, right click on the .indd file > Open With > Other.
Then navigate to the version of InDesign that you want to open them with (I have CS6 installed but its the same for CS5). Make sure you have "Always Open With" selected.

TrueCrypt 6.2 system drive encryption hangs system sometimes a day

Hi,
I use truecrypt for years with xp and vista - last with Vista and T500, a few weeks ago I installed windows 7 x64 rtm. Every thing works fine and so I checked step by step my usual installed apps and tools.
I see win7 is not supported by truecrypt but seems to work fine. But sometimes (one or two a hour) my system hangs for about 10 to 40 seconds. So I decided to go step by step backwards and removed installed tools.
Removing TC solved my problem. Has anybody seen the same (TC6.2 on Win7 ult. x64 using Lenovo T500 with Intel SSD)?
best regards
Ronny

I have exactly the same problem, but with a HP Elitebook 2530p
TrueCrypt 7.0a
Windows 7 x64
SSD drive, but had the same problem on my traditional HDD.
The interval is somewhat longer for me, maybe a few times a day.
And, just as you discovered, removing truecrypt system encryption resolves the issue. Wonder if it's an issue with just the system drive encryption thingy, or it affects all systems having encrypted volumes opened?
