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

I have just purchased the latest macbook pro 13 retina (late 2013). I want to connect to a Dell U2713H Monitor. As the new macbook doesn't have a cd slot, I am unable to install the monitor drivers etc. Where can I download the drivers?

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Do you have Nvidia Optimus model or just plain Nvidia with switchable graphics? See this support page, verify and then let us know.
Keep us posted.
Edit: Also, did you change switchable to discrete in the BIOS before installing the driver? I don't believe XP supports switchable graphics, further is your XP updated to SP3? This is a requirement.

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) ?

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) :

MPS 200 with J 4.6. We are having issues with encryption and unable to install latest, J 4.7.2

We have an MPS 200 with J 4.6. We are having issues with encryption and the tech assigned to our TAC case informed us that version J 4.7.2 would resolve the issue per release notes (confirmed). Unfortunately we have been unable to install latest, J 4.7.2. Every time we select the 4000j472.tar.gz file, the MPS displays software upgrade failed. We have used IE 8, 9 and 11 and have opened them up as much as possible, still no joy. We have unzipped the file, but do not know which file to select for the install.
Would appreciate any assist.

As the others have suggested - download the file again - and check that the MD5 Checksum (with something like WinMD5) of what you have downloaded matches what it should be (for J4.7.2 is b328946e6ca24f181c937d90d8e5cc12). Then upload the .tar.gz file as downloaded (wihtout extracting it).

Red vertical banding lines in Photoshop CC images - suspect is latest Nvidia drivers

Anyone getting this in their images when viewing at 25% or under? The problem goes away if I uncheck Use Graphics Processor and then restart Photoshop CC, so my latest suspect in this mystery is the latest update by Nvidia, their 335.23 drivers. Has anyone had this issue and successfully got it to stop by reverting back to an older Nvidia driver set?
I'm running Photoshop CC 64-bit, latest version, on Windows 8.1, latest updates applied. I just built the PC 3 months ago, has i7 4930K, 32GB ram, dedicated separate SSDs for C drive and Adobe Scratch Disk, and yes, I did uninstall and reinstall PS CC and selected "Remove Pref Files". I'm fairly sure it's the latest Nvidia driver that's causing the issue. Oh, graphics card is EVGA GTX 770, this model.
I'll paste in the long hairy list of info from Photoshop, but there won't be any more of my wording below it. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have three onboard raid0 all attached directly to a Gigabyte X79-UD5 using Intel Enterprise driver. The boot driver I mention is a new thing, which I added after a major system crash left me needing a clean reinstall.
When I first built the system it had no raid0 at all - just a single 'Raptor I had hoped to use for the Project drive, but PremPro wouldn't play nicely with that, so I had to add another and raid0 them. I could scrub the timline smoothly after that with as many tracks on the timeline as I needed, (all 1080 H.264) I lost one of those Velociraptors, so replaced with a pair of 6th gen 1Tb V'raptors in raid0. They give me 350Mbs continuous, but their 4k speed is still not special.
I also have a pair of WD1Tb Blacks in a raid0 for Exports, my docs, and I used to keep cache, and other large files on that drive before I upgraded the boot drive.
Altogether I have 18Tb because of the need to back up the video, which is done with USB3 externals. I recently added a Seagate 4Tb USB3 external (to help organise files while reinstalling everything) and that is showing 185Mb/s sequentual, which is much faster than my single drive internals! I guess they just keep making things better.

External monitor not working after installing latest NVIDA drivers

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I installed bootcamp and Windows 7 x64. I performed all the Windows updates then installed the Apple Bootcamp driver CD. Everything was working fine and I was able to connect an external LCD monitor using a mini display port to HDMI cable (the LCD only has HDMI ins).
I then came across a piece of Windows software that requires the latest production NVIDIA drivers so I went to the NVIDIA web site and downloaded their installer for the GT330M which is the chipset in this MacBook Pro.
The NVIDIA installers ran fine and installed version 275.33 of their drivers, however, when I hook up the external display the primary display goes black and the external monitor simply cycles through all the inputs like it can't find a signal. When I unplug the mini display adapter from the MBP the MBP screen returns to normal.
Thoughts?
TIA,
-Noah
PS. Windows 7 *****. Took over 3 hours to install and apply all the Windows updates with countless reboots. Lion took under 20 minutes to fresh install.

Well low and behold I tried clearing PRAM again and I reset my monitor to factory defaults. Reconnected my monitor and the thing works now. Very strange but I'm Happy that it's working again. *WHEW*

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).

Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
Mac OS 10.5.2
Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

I did install windows xp sp2 32 bit on my macbook pro 2.2 GB and I'm getting the same ...
When trying to install boot camp drivers, a message came up saying:
Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
The only option it gave me was to click the "OK" button. When I clicked OK , another message came up saying:
Boot Camp Installer completed. The install encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. Click "finish" to exit installer. I am running a brand new full retail version of windows xp service pack 2. Applecare will not help blaming Microsoft and of course Microsoft is blaming Apple. What a bunch of useless crap!! Can anyone help??

On a Mac, unable to install latest Flash Player 12.0.0.44--or reinstall previous version that worked

I am on a Mac running the last version of Snow Leopard before Mavericks, 10.8.5. I am unable to install the new Flash Player 12.0.0.4--at about the 50% mark on the installing bar, it stops and I get an error message that installation failed. The version I had previously for some time, either 10. or 11. worked perfectly but I am not unable to reinstall any previous version either. So I have a project I cannot run that requires Flash Player and can't watch videos.
I found someone in a forum who mentioned he'd seen several people on Snow Leopard unable to install Flash Player but his directions to overcome that which did work for someone who tried it, appear to be for PC's: from his first direction of right-clicking, I didn't get the option he says to click on that starts the process.
Can anyone tell me how to install this new Flash Player in a Mac on Snow Leopard? Should I trash all the new versions of the installer and the Flash Player Debugger Version 11.4.402.287 (11.4) that I have from a previous installment, prior to trying again?
Thanks for any help.

What I'm looking for is specifically the "General Installation Error", since it's 10.8.5.
You're missing a file that was made visible by the 10.8.5 update. Hundreds of thousands of Mac users all over the world deleted it, not knowing what it was. It causes this when it's missing.
Download this file: "Secrets" pereference pane
And this one: mach_kernel.zip
Install Secrets, and open your System Preferences.
Open the Secrets Preference Pane, and check "Show hidden files"
You'll need to press the "Quit this" button,
and restart Finder, by right clicking the Dock icon.
Then, place the mach_kernel.zip file in the Mac HD directory,
and unzip it. You should see a "faded" mach_kernel file appear.
Trash the zip file.
Reopen your System Preferences and uncheck "Show Hidden files".
Instead of quitting Finder and relaunching it, reboot your Mac.
Your Flash Player installer won't quit anymore.

Unable to install latest update of Flash Player with Yosemite OS

I have followed all the instructions on the forum as well as searching the internet for solutions. I have uninstalled Flash Player, rebooted computer, closed browser (Safari), tried to install but it shows up then the screen goes blank. Finally, I get an error message that it is unable to install Flash Player.
What gives?

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot (How to post a screenshot in the forum) of the installer when it hangs?
Thank you.

Unable to install latest version

I currently have version 8.0.1.11 installed on my laptop (which is running on Windows Vista) I am trying to upgrade to version 9.0.2, as my new iPod isn't compatible with the version I have running.
However I am unable to install this version, I get to the 67% stage and it freezes - I have left if running but still to no luck.
Any help?

Okay. Rather than using Apple Software update for the install, let's try downloading an installer from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through any better? Or do you get another problem at the 67% stage?

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 ?
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!

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!

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
