W540 - NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver

I confused as usual with my Workstation.
My W540 has v9.18.13.1269 installed.  This was the default when I got the system.  It is dated 10/28/2013.
Yet today I see we have a new v9.18.13.1269 released 9/5/2014 on the update site:
There are many 'Nothing' new in the help section, yet minor bug fixes, keeping the same version number.  Maybe a different build??
Any one know what is going on.  New calendar system? New software Dewey system?

I always avoid Optimus, it's historically been way too buggy and very little performance bump over HD4000/4600.  I either opt for Quadro machines or just run Intel integrated.  That being said, it's a blessing in disguise for you since Outlook is hideos.  Consider something else, so many better options exist.

  • NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver 8.17.12.76​58 has a problem

    TVSU spends a long time downloading the package and then close with the message that the update did not install. Going to Lenovo's driver matrix the following link results in a Page Not Found.
    This driver is a valid update for my T520.There is an obvious cataloging problem here.

  • NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 (64 Bit) interfering with Microsoft Outlook 2013

    Lenovo Community
    Can't explain it nor do I understand it but it appears that the latest NVIDIA Optimus Display Drivers (Version 9.18.13.1270 / 8.15.10.2725, dated 05 Jan 2014) is interfering with Microsoft Outlook 2013. For a week I have been working with Microsoft Technical and Lenovo's Premium Support to no avail. I have reformatted my hard drive 4 times and uninstall and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro more time than I can to remember. The issue stared last Tuesday (18 Mar 2014) when I uploaded new drivers from Lenovo and Microsoft. Outlook would not execute (the initial Outlook dialog would just say processing ....) For four day's Microsoft, Lenovo, and I trouble shot everything under the sun. What was odd was whenever Microsoft or Lenovo technicians took control of my computer Outlook worked fine, and when I stated this to the technicians they thought I was nuts, but once I had control the problem returned. Finally frustrated to the hill I once again reformatted my hard drive but this time installed the Lenovo updates and software one at a time creating numerous restore points along the way. When I updated the new NVIDIA drivers the problem resurfaced.  When I would go into the device manager and uninstall the NVIDIA driver’s outlook once again worked fine.  I finally was able to reinstall (through my restore points) the previous version of drivers and Outlook is working fine.  Is there something to this. ??????

  • NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - ThinkPad

    The display driver available at http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds029106 is advertised as being version 9.18.13.3302 / 8.15.10.2725, released on 5/20/2014, but what can really be downloaded from the URL (g5de45ww.exe) is actually a two-year old driver from 2012, version 9.17.10.2483 for Intel HD 4000. Does anyone know from where the current, up-to-date display driver for Intel HD 4000 in the T430 can be downloaded?

    On lenovo blogs someone asked Russ Compton (lenovo employee) this question, see his reply below:-
    "Q: Is this a software/driver update that can be applied to existing switchable graphics T410s models, or is there a hardware change which means it’s a feature of new “Optimus systems” only.
    A: Amardeep, that is a good question. All ThinkPads shipping today will be Optimus enabled if running Win 7.. The current T410, T410s and T510 that are in the field will not be able to upgrade. The changes are the following: 1- Graphics Driver, 2- BIOS UPDATE 3- EEPROM Flash. So the hardware is not changing, but the upgrade to Optimus is not supported due to the EEPROM update that is required."

  • Nvidia Ion Display Driver issues for S12

    I downloaded the Nvidia drivers
    195.62_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_whql
    and
    195.81_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_beta
    I tried installing the 195.81 first, but it didnt work so i tried 195.62 but it also didnt work.
    The error message says this:
    "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.  Setup will now exit".
    I have a Lenovo Ideapad S12 with Ion.  What is the problem?  I was able to install Nvidia's 191 version of the driver, but these updated ones don't work.
    Help me...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you do a search, you'll find several threads on these forums regarding this issue.
    For some reason, as you've found, the current nVidia reference GPU drivers don't work.
    Now, thankyou for testing the 195.81 beta drivers - nVidia support actually suggested these as a fix to the issue!
    They also suggested trying to install the drivers (either set) from within Safe Mode. You may wish to try that.
    However, as has already been stated, the S12 works ok with the shipped drivers.
    I recommend installing the nVidia reference chipset driver (I found a marked improvement in performance with them installed) - BUT, only install the SMU component - I found the Storage component causes issues (upto and including a Blue Screen when running a HDD benchmark).
    Also, apparently, the desktop GPU drivers from nVidia will work fine.

  • W540 - Nvidia Optimus Driver Update - upgrade query

    Is there a chance that Lenovo will certify the latest mobile/quadro drivers for use on the W540 - the March 5th release seems to have it's core Nvidia driver elements made from Nvidia Drivers which date back to Q3 2013 -325.xx?
    The first time I noticed this was in my failed attempt to play BF4 on my machine - if anyone has any success in getting BF4 to run on their W540 - (I have the Nvidia K2100) but the game launcher prompts that I don't have a supported driver version - I had some success disabling optimus (switching to advanced in bios), installing the driver on discrete only (advanced) and all this does is allow me to skip the driver check (but the game run horribly - looks like it runs from the intel HD gpu only?)
    So in other words could Lenovo distribute an optimus driver which takes in the latest enhcancements made to the latest Nvidia/quadro WHQL (latest being 340.52 WHQL released on the 10th of July 2014!).
    I'm by no means an expert on drivers/certication - I have only dabbled in tweaking/editing ini files and some Nvidia inspector on my Desktops - but i don't think it's a stretch to assume the improvements/bug fixes made in later driver versions are worthwhile being added to the Lenovo system - Aside from my laptop's secondary function to play a few games, It's a workstation - any "free" improvement to the performance of Solidworks would be welcomed.
    Alternately, has anyone had success installing/adding optimus drivers from other sources? - Not expecting Lenovo to inform me of this but if any of the other users have had success I might be inclined to try other solutions

    It looks like you've mentioned it, but changing the video mode to "Advanced" in the bios (despite it saying something about the dock) let me install the drivers.  I had the same problem where the installer kept rejecting me saying that my card is not supported before switching that setting.
    With the official driver, I have not had any problems with it switching to discrete graphics.  In the Nvidia Control Panel, try enabling the option "Show Notification Tray Icon" under View and you'll have a little square icon in your system tray that lights up when the Quadro is being used (yes, it'll light up for fullscreen apps that you alt-tab out of).  For cases where it doesn't activate for certain programs, you *must* create an .exe profile and enable discrete mode in that profile.

  • Need NVIDIA WXP display driver for Satellite P200

    Hello
    I have a problem with installing Display Drivers on Setellite P200-10C.
    I install OS Windows XP and can't find drivers for NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600.
    On this site there is only windows vista driver. On nVidia official site I have'n found any drivers for this device.
    Can you help me?

    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-020683.htm has working xp video drivers, Intel 945 express chip set family is the video processor in the Satellite P200. Just for reference the intel video driver worked on my Satellite P200-RT5 part number pspboc-rt508c
    The drivers you downloaded from nvidia are likely not working for you because instead of a nvidia or ati, you have an Intel graphics card. You have to try drivers for all three till one of them works.

  • Lenovo B570e Intel HD Graphics - nVidia Display Driver

    Hi Guys
    Iv got a small problem, and I'm struggling to get my head around it! Im installing Windows 7 pro 64Bit from scratch. I normally do chipset drivers first, then i move on to the others and finnish of by doing a windows update.
    My problem is when i come to install the nVidia Optimus Display Driver the install appears to fail, windows message pops up towards the end and says something like "hasn't installed propley would you like to try reinstall the recommended way"
    Am i right in thinking the nVidia Optimus Display Driver should install the intel drivers too?
    My Next step was to try install the Intel HD Graphics (Integrated) from the lenovo site, after installing the machine wont boot back into windows. Had to remove the driver package with safemode.
    Iv tried all kinds of combinations and driver packages with the same result.
    Anyone else come across this, i welcome as much help as possible.
    Many Thanks
    Giles.

    Hi Giles,

  • Lenovo b560 can't install nvidia display driver

    hello i've learned that lenovo b560 computers got 2 graphic cards one is intel hd graphics other is nvidia 310m but i can't install the nvidia driver it always gives the no compatible drivers found error :/

    hi Frost1,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The B560 with Intel+Nvidia graphics uses the Nvidia Optimus Technology to switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and the Nvidia GPU (for applications that requires more processing power).
    If you have Windows 7, try the following:
    1. Restart the machine and hit F8. On the menu, select "Disable driver signature enforcement".
       - Sample image
    2. Install these drivers then reboot:
    1st:   Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
    2nd:  NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
    If you still get the error, can you PM me your serial number or indicate your machine type (e.g., 0679-3JU) to check the PC specs.
    Regards

  • NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

    Alienware M14x Laptop
    Windows 7-pre 64-bit
    8gb ram
    3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
    Intel i7 2760QM
    AE CS4
    AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
    this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
    this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
    any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
    Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

    For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
    (It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
    It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
    THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
    "This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
    Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
    My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.
    Inserted from <http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40>
    It worked for me

  • Satego X200 - XP Display Driver (Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT)

    Hi,
    finally I managed to install XP on my 2. HDD - beside Vista (in order to get rid of Vista later).
    What I still need is a suitable display driver, since Toshiba offers only one for ATI.
    I found many posts with similar topics in the www (laptopvideo2go, Nvidia, etc), but no suitable driver so far. Nvidia doesn't support Toshiba drivers directly.
    So I asked Toshiba for a solution and mentioned that a beta-driver might help as well since I don't need high grafic performance on this machine (no 3d stuff and I won't play games here) it should simply work ;-).
    They answered very quickly and provided a link to a not-signed _Satellite_ X200 driver. Unfortunately that driver leads to the same result (similar to: "Hardware not supported ...installation terminated").
    It would be great if anyone had an idea
    THX
    Kroever

    @jaba & @Horwath
    I asked Toshiba Germany again if and when they'll make an XP driver available. Their answer was quite clear - and disappointing: "they can't actually tell" :-(
    In the meantime I found a way to increase my grafic performance a little bit (while using the XP standard VGA driver) .
    I had the problem that i.e. shifting a single window took some time because it goes nearly line by line (not really but that's how it looked like).
    Therefore I reduced the hardware acceleration to "none" (don't know if this is the correct translation since I use a German MMI).
    This helps a little - I wonder how long, I guess 'til my son installs his next game ;-)
    I will follow your advice looking for 3rd party drivers but of course I'd still appreciate any further hint.
    Thanks so far

  • Update of photoshop CC - trouble with NVIDIA Quadro 1000M display driver. PS freezes

    Hey guys,
    Since today I've got trouble with my PS CC.
    I've updated PS CC yesterday 2014-12-12.
    I was doing some drawings today and two times PS freezes during switching layers of or selecting a mask.
    A message appeared that there was trouble with the display driver an PS switched off the GPU support because of that issue.
    Ok, I thought let's update the display driver and so I've done today. I switched to actual NVIDIA display driver version 314.21
    I'm working with an NVIDIA Quadro 1000M on a DELL mobile Workstation Precision M4600 with 8 GB RAM.
    Now when I start up PS and press alt+k, my 2 displays showing a black screen for 1-2 seconds.
    After closing the general setup window again black screen for 1-2 sec and the top menu bar is showing no entries.
    When I move the mouse pointer over the bar, the menus appear again. But the bar is like transparent at the parts where no menues are.
    When I unlock the window from the screen an put it back fitting to the screen everything looks like normal.
    Till today I hadn't any problem with my notebook in that kind of way.
    Maybe someone has or had similar problems.
    Would be nice if someone can help me.
    thanks

    Oh, that sounds very bad. It's not that bad for me. It's not crashing that often at the moment, only black screens at start up or if setting dialog is opened. But I will see tomorrow how often it will crash, during today it crashed 2 times when doing some ridiculous simple actions like switchid to another layer  and the other time when trying to edit an mask layer. I will contact the support chat on monday regarding this issue. Maybe there is a solution or an update soon... I keep may fingers crossed for you.

  • "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.
