W540 update nvidia driver

Hi,
i just recieved my new W540. After installing everything i needed i wanted to enjoy a nice round of Battlefield. But since i did not update my Nvidia card it directly reminded me that the driver is outdated (and crashed on start). I had the same problem with my W530 until i updated the drivers.
Now when i download the latest driver and try to install it i recieve the error that i am not allowed to use nvidia drivers but have to use the oem ones.. Unfortunatly Lenovo only offers outdated drivers 327.68.
Is there a possibility to use the current Nvidia drivers???

Thanks for the suggestion. During my attempts, I did look into the manual install through the Device Manager. I pointed to the driver directory that the Nvidia installer created. When I pointed the device manager at that directory, there were about 5 entries for "Nvidia Quadro K2100M" listed. When I selected any one of them, I got a message to the effect of "This driver may be incompatible with your hardware. Just right now, I went ahead and clicked through and I eventually get the error message "The driver selected for this device does not support this version for Windows". I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrong at this point since I double checked the setup file and it is for Windows 8.1 64-bit, the OS I'm using.

Y510p and problem with Update Nvidia Driver

Hi everyonei have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?Thanks

Hi Y510Man,
     The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.
     I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.
    Let us know how it goes.

Hi,
I am using my Late 2012 rMBP also in bootcamp with windows 7 64-bit
Often I see a popup from the NVidia Control Panel saying that a new update is available. Most of the time, the update adds new game profiles and such... I only use my Mac for CAD. But sometimes they also fix bugs or improve routines...
I know I am "safe" to ignore these messages.
But is it also "not recommended" (or even "dangerous") to install these updated drivers?
Probably, the included driver in the bootcamp driver pack is tweaked for these MBPs.... but is it?
Regards,

W530 please update nvidia driver asap!!!

the nvidia driver from nvidia just makes computer to bluescreen on reboot.. cant play bf4(yeah i know its no gamerig) with the lenovo drivers... cant be that hard. nvidia has several updates since yours. please fix asap!!!

Hi all
If you have installed NVIDIA driver from Lenovo, you could just update it with the original driver from NVIDIA itself. For stability / performance, update your Intel HD Graphics also if you are using NVIDIA Optimus mode.

Can't update nvidia driver on Satellite P25-S507

I've followed the instructions:
1. uninstalled the original nvidia driver
2. installed the updated driver downloaded from nvidia www page.
3. There was NO RESULT. The new driver was not installed, so I had to reinstall the old driver
4. As a result I can't use OpenGL 1.5 and my generated renderings are of poor quality.
So: Why can't I update the nvidia driver?

I've solved the problem after having consulted the US laptop forum. I've downloaded the ForceWare 56.63 and updated the driver. It works great.

Windows Experience Index lowers score after updating Nvidia driver?

It does indeed fluctuate. A difference of 0.1 can probably be attributed to random error.

[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.
I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with
Xorg -configure
and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.

When will an updated NVIDIA driver appear ?

I have a new Lenovo laptop W530 with Windows 8. I tried to update to 8.1 but then the connection to external screen failed. Driver version is 9.18.13.1197 date 17.7.2013.

Hi Berocoder,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble finding the latest NVIDIA drivers for your Lenovo W530.
I would suggest you to run NVIDIA Smart Scan which will auto-detect the latest version of the driver compatible for your system and install it.
If the driver version you have installed is up-to-date, probably you will have to wait for the next release from NVIDIA.
Best regards,
Mithun.

Streaming video display in v.5 and v.6 is monochrome and distored while Ffox help indicates need to update Nvidia driver that is NOT supported by HP; so is there a Ffox fix or do I play Russian roulette with unapproved Nvidia driver updates?

For reference, this is HP PC laptop with AMD Turion64 running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit with 2G memory and Nvidia Go 6500 series chip. Streaming videos from sites like Comedy Network work in basic format (showing color etc.) but when made full screen are monochrome and distorted (i.e. fill 2/3 page). Current driver number from Nvidia is in the 1.8x range while Ffox and Nvidia show a newer driver that is in the 2.x range but Nvidia warns that drivers should be approved by notebook manufacturer. Since Ffox 4 and previous worked fine, why the problem with Ffox 5 and 6?

I doubt that your notebook crashed because of the graphic card driver
Possibly there is another reason why the notebook crashes.
First of all you should check if new OS installation would help you on many cases the OS hangs or does not response due to damage registry entries or system files
If the notebook will still crash after new OS installation then you should check if it could be related to a higher temperature inside the notebook
Higher temperature could be one of the main reasons for such problems.
Usually you could avoid a higher temperature by cleaning the cooling fans and grilles You could use a compressed air spray in order to remove the dust and debris
Otherwise the notebook should be checked by an ASP technician I mean the G50 is one of the newest notebooks series and the warranty should be still valid so everything should be done for free!!

Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
Here are the technical details:
Processor speed: 3325 MHz
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: GeForce GT 220/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Drawing: Enabled.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 8.15.11.8627
Built-in memory: 3063 MB

Memory available to Photoshop: 1643 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %

I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
Good luck,

Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
Chad
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern.   (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for Tecra S11?

Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for S11?
my machine S11 is almost 3 years old. In the first year there were a lot of update for drivers, but in the past 1 year there were no update.
At nvidia's official website there is a driver download page, but if I install the latest driver - it doesn't matter which one - I have several video driver related issue. So I have to downgrade to the Toshiba's nvidia driver.
I will try this one
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver-all.html
So will nvidia or toshiba update the video driver?

Ive got many years of experience with Toshiba notebooks.
I had about four different notebooks in my life and I have noticed that in different cases the same graphic card would be built in different models and series. This would mean that you could use the graphic card driver which is released for such notebook model for different notebook series which supports the same GPU.
Toshiba releases a lot of different notebook series every month and in most cases they give the main points on the new series. If you want to get newest driver for the GPU I think you will need to check the drivers released for other notebook series with the same GPU or you would look for drivers at some 3rd party pages like www.laptopvideo2go.com/

Updated to nvidia driver 344.11

I recently updated my GPU driver to 344.11 and I noticed a sluggish performance with playing games like DOTA 2, CS: GO and The Witcher. The frame rate will dramatically drop and i was used to having smooth frame rates before the update.. This is kinda annoying and still trying to figure out if it is the driver causing the problem.
Does anybody updated their driver as well?

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

Update display panel from last nvidia driver with MSI VGA OC display ...

Hello,
I have a MSI NX7600GS under windows XP and I've update the last nvidia driver for ...
But I loose my original MSI VGA OC display tweaking panel in windows xp standard display panel ...
How can I update display panel with MSI VGA OC display tweaking panel and the last nvidia driver ?
???

Quote from: AaronYuri on 29-March-07, 23:19:28
Easy. Manually update the drivers.
Go:
My Computer > Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager > VGA card > Right click > Properties > Driver tab > Update driver find the folder with the ForceWare driver > Click OK. Your done.
You'll have to extract the drivers out of the .exe that they come in firstly mind.
I want to keep my latest downloaded nvidia drivers and add official MSI OC tweaking in windows xp display panel, so ... you asked me to find the folder with the ForceWare driver : last (from nvidia) or previous (from MSI's CD driver) ?
And how can I extact the drivers out of the .exe without launching install procedure ?
Thanks ...
