OSX won't install video card driver?

Hey everyone.
I have a mid-2009 macbook pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card.
I'm running 10.6.8 and seem to be having a few issues with openGL performance crashing Adobe After Effects and (possibly) making Final Cut X unusable.
I checked NVIDIA's website and according to this page there is an update for my graphics card. It takes me to this page.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-macosx-256.02.25f01-driver.html
I download the driver, but upon install i'm greeted with a message saying that it is not supported on my system.
I don't get it, does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks.

Whew, seems we have either a bad Hard Drive, bad RAM, or bad Logic Board.
Have you run Apple Hardware Test from the original Install Disc?
Hold d key or alt key at bootup to choose AHT, if it has 2 Install DVDs, AHT may be on the second one, run the extended tests.

How to install video card driver?

I download a video card driver, after uncompress, i have 6 files as below:
glx.so
libGL.so.1
riva_install
libGL.so
LibGL.so.1.0
XF86_SVGA
It seems that only riva_install and XF86_SVGA is executable files, so i run them. But there are some problems cause i can not continue:
1. when i run riva_install, screen displays:
Enter path to the X server tree.
If unsure, press <Enter>.
-n Path [usr/X11R6] :
Then i press <Enter>, it displays as follow:
/My_Download/VideoCard/X-GLX-libc5-i386-dyn/riva_install: test: argument expected
At this point, what should i input?
2. When i try to run XF86_SVGA, screen displays:
XF86_SVGA: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.1
3. I use netscape to view webpage. Usually when i open a new page, netscape always ask me to install cookies again and agin, i press ok, and next time, it still ask the same question, even i press ok for N times to accept install cookies.
Could you please kindly answer me?
Thanks
Joanna

After run kdmconfig, i have following description:
Video Device: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 (32MB)
Screen Size: 16-inch (41cm)
Resolution/Colors: 1024x768 - 256 colors @ 85Hz
Which means the system recognize my video card, i don't need to install extra driver for that, right?
But how come i can't see picture clearly?
And whenever i open a new page, netscape often ask me to install cookies again and again?
Thanks

Not install the video card driver

Please help solve the problem, HP Pavilion dv6 6051-er Why not install the video card driver or a video card is burned? When I install a video card driver Radeon (TMM) HD 6770 in a few seconds during the installation screen is black and so is, download the drivers from multiple sites from off site and others, please: help solve the problem.

that´s a strange problem.
Maybe the agp-slot somehow is faulty since you ran into problems with booth cards.
Have you visually check mainboard for any signs of bad capacitors, agp slot interface etc.
PS, seems like you do the driver install about the same order as me
- Win XP + all updates
- DirectX
- Inf driver
- Vga driver
- rest......
If the problems occured on a regulary basis when playing games etc, then it could be some heatingproblems or to weak psu, but that don´t seems to be the problem for you.

How to update video card driver?

Hi, I have a Toshiba satellite pro C660-1LR laptop and I don't know how to update the video card driver which is an "Intel® HD Graphics". I have been to the intel site and when scanning for updates I was given this message:
"A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer."
I was wondering where to go from here as the lack of update for my video card driver is preventing me from playing some games.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

driver updates for your system would be on this page:

Swing, Java2d, JRE 6 Update N, Video Card/Driver

Hello,
I am developping a high-performance ui using Swing, SwingX and Java2D.
I am using JRE 6 UPDATE N.
I am looking for some information about what video card/driver would bring me the best performance solution on windows xp?
(Hardware-accelerated graphics, etc).
thank you,
T

I am looking for some information about what video card/driver would bring me the best performance solution on windows xp?
(Hardware-accelerated graphics, etc).Nobody can answer this as it's too vague. In general, you can research video cards and their capabilities to see which is the fastest at this or that operation. Then you could search for drivers that work well on that card and OS configuration. But "the best" solution doesn't exist in such a general context. Since 1.4 of Java, Swing makes use of hardware acceleration. Whether DirectX is used or OpenGL is something you shouldn't care about. DirectX is preferred of course, but this won't come into play unless you're doing 3D stuff (I believe).

Lost on video card driver

I have the MSI 845 GM/GLM/GEM/PEM/GVM Series for Intel Pentium 4 running Windows XP Home Edition. When I install Service Pack 2 my screen resolution changes and cannot be adjusted. I was told that after installing sp2 I need to update my video card driver. I know it's an onboard video card, but I have no idea what I'm suppose to update. Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost.

You'll need to install the following drivers:
1) intel.inf chipset driver from www.intel.com
2) Onboard VGA driver from www.msi.com.tw/index.htm > products page > S478 Desktop > Look for 845GM mainboard > Go to drivers tab > download the onboard graphics driver.

Upgrading Video Card Driver

Hi there,
I want to upgrade my video card driver because my old one does not support some games I would like to play. I was just wandering which I should get, one that's cheap, but supports most games. Computer info:
Here's what it says in System Properties:
System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Server Pack 3
Dell Vostro 1500
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
T5270 @ 1.40GHz
1.40 GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM
Help would be appreciated, thanks

In general, laptops can not have their graphics cards upgraded and the ones that can were extremely expensive and large, and the upgrades that are available are expensive to get installed and not worth it unfortunately.

Sudden video card drive error causing freeze

I am using Premiere Elements 11 and suddenly it started to show video card drive error when trying to create a new project or open an existing one. The error says that Adobe detected an incompatible display driver GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2 3.3.0 and ask me to update the driver. If I click OK on this message Adobe starts creating or opening a project but freezes. I cannot even close the application as the computer does not react to Ctrl+Alt+Del neither so I have to force restart it. When it freezes I see two Adobe logo at the bottom of the screen in the taskbar as if it would try to open the application twice.
I have the latest video card driver installed: version 340.52. Moreover, Premiere Elements opened and worked without problem before and I have not changed anything in my video card driver before the error started to show up.
Any idea what can be the problem and how to fix it?

I have a macbook and I'm having trouble backing up my pictures on an external hard drive. The Macbook won't install the backup drive soft ware? It is a new Sea Gate hard rive from costco.

You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

Getting the name of the installed video card

I'm trying to discover if exists any way in java to get the name (ATI, nVidia, Creative) and other properties (version,memory size,...) of the installed video card where the jvm is running.
Thanks in advance,
Joan

Definitely not directly with Java APIs....
2 approaches...
1. get another external program to do the work for you, and export it to a text file.
then you parse then text file.
On WinXP, there's a program called msinfo32.exe in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo
type msinfo32 /? for a list of command line options.
Looks like you can route it to a text file.
2. Write a low level JNI library in native Windows C++, which somehow finds that hardware specific information from the Windows API.

Owen

Photoshop CC stopped recognizing my video card. Photoshop CC(64) still recognizes it properly. Video card driver is up to date.

ON or about January 15th my Photoshop CC (original) which I use because it works with many of my older filters was working properly. Several days later it refused to recognize my video card and my performance plummeted. ( It has the performance tab greyed out. )
It keeps popping up a message saying I am out of VRAM. Then when I try using filters like Liquify I get his message.
When I use Photoshop 64bit it correctly finds and uses my video card
How do I make Photoshop CC correctly find my video card?

First, try updating your video card driver from NVidia's website.
