Windows 7: graphics/video driver issues

Hi,
i've just installed Windows 7 pro (oem version) on my macbook pro (unibody june 2009 edition, running Leopard OS) - installation was quick and painless. I made sure to install the boot camp drivers/leopard from the discs within Windows, however win 7 is still unable to detect my NVidia GeForce GT 9600 graphics card.
It's detected instead as a 'standard vga graphics adapter'. I then tried to install the latest driver from the NVidia website, however during the installation process it comes up with an error message stating it 'cannot locate any drivers that are compatible with current hardware' and exits.
Completely stumped. Could anyone help me out?

Problem solved, just a matter of getting my hands of Snow Leopard's Boot camp 3.0

T40 video driver issues

My ThinkPad T40 recently had some strange scrambled lines across the screen. They aren't constant and they don't show up when I switch HD's to my Fedora setup. It only shows up in the XP setup, and it is red on white, blue on black, and various other colors depending on what is underneath it.
When I formatted the drive, thinking it was a corruption in the windows system files, it had gone away, but when I installed the video driver (ATI Radeon 7500) and rebooted the system, the lines had shown up again. I uninstalled the video driver, and the lines went away, but Window's plug and play didn't let me stay that way for long as it automatically reinstalled the ATI Radeon 7500 driver. The lines returned upon a reboot of after the drivers were installed.
I took photographs of the issue.

Sometimes it changes depending on what is on the screen. It is not always just collected together; as I write this it is all over the screen in more seperated segments. Is there an older video driver that isn't listed on the website I could use or is there another solution for this? Thanks a lot.

Your T40 has a classic GPU problem that these machines are known for, where graphic card starts detaching itself from the rest of the motherboard due to numerous heating/cooling cycles and/or chassis strain. Linux doesn't access the video the same way Windows does, and that's why your distro works fairly normal. However, if you kept on pushing the machine long enough into start/shutdown cycles in Linux, you'd see the same behaviour of the video segment.
Motherboard replacement, or solder re-balling/reflowing in the GPU area are your only long-term choices. Placing a couple of post-it sheets on the GPU itself will act as a band-aid.
Good luck.

Ge force 314.22 video driver issue with new desktop

I bought my Envy Phoenix h9-1340t new from HP in January. A month and a half ago, I updated the video driver from Nvidia's website and the video card stopped working correctly. I contacted tech support. They had me disable all my Windows Drivers and had me run the computer in selective startup. The video card then worked and they said the problem was fixed. I told them this did not seem to be a solution to me so they sent me a new video card. That did not fix the problem. I was told to send the pc back to HP for a repair. I just got it back today and I saw the only thing they did was replace the video card again. I contacted HP and they said the problem was with Nvidia's driver and told me to only update the video driver through HP. I registered with Nvidia and posted my issue. The feedback was unanimous, the issue lied with the configuration with my computer and not Nvidia's driver. Could someone please help me out with this issue?
This question was solved.

Hello again pinktoe.
If using selective startup allowed the drivers to work properly then there has to be something in that list causing you problems. You need to determine what exactly is causing the issue. I suggest trying the following.
Press the Windows+X keyboard combination.
Select "Run."
Type "msconfig" and press Enter.
Start by using selective startup to boot without services or startup items. However, only select one.
Save the changes and reboot the notebook.
If the problem persists go back to msconfig and re-enable the disabled item. Disable the other item, save your changes, and reboot again to verify that the issue does indeed disappear through this option.
If the issue disappears when disabling the services you'll want to try the following.
Select the Services tab.
Check the "hide all Microsoft services" box in the bottom left.
Disable all services.
Re-enable the first 5-10 services, save the changes, and reboot the computer.
If the problem returns then you know it is one of these services and you can continues disabling the enabled services until you find the culprit.
Repeat as needed until the culprit is discovered.
Post the result.
If the issue disappears when disabling the startup items you'll need to repeat the same process.
Once you determine which item(s) are causing the issue make sure to post the result.
Have a good day!

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Windows 8.1 BSoD & driver issue

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me out here. Let me describe the issue. For quite a while I was using Windows 8.1 fine and did not have any problems, however I recently burned my PSU somehow and then the problems started. Which I somewhy find odd, cause the
BSoD's are related to a driver issue(?). The driver which seems to cause the problem, is
Intel(R) Engine Management Interface.
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A device which does not exist was specified"
Event Viewer displays the following error:
"Intel(R) Engine Management Interface driver has failed to perform a handshake with the Firmware."
Since it says "A device which does not exist was specified.", I assume I don't need this driver at all, so I tried disabling it and uninstalling, but it keeps coming back every time I restart my PC. I even tried looking for a newer driver, but couldn't
find anything. The newest driver is for Windows 7 x64/x86. I found out you could possibly disable it in bios, but I couldn't find the option to do so in my bios. I went thru every option 1 by 1, just to make sure, I wouldn't miss it.
Here's my PC:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2 (F4 BIOS)
CPU: Intel i3 540 @ 3.07GHz (Overclocked to 4,03GHz)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (GV-N660OC-2GD)
RAM: 2 x Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3
HDD: Western Digital 500GB
At the very moment, I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 Professional x64 and the problem still seems to exist. I have tried and googled for everything I can think off, now I'm just stuck at this problem.
I hope someone can help me out here, or at the very least, guide me in the right direction.

It points to incorrect memory page access obviously. It generally caused by some driver like you found. update all drivers should be resolved. Have you tried ever?

X201 Windows 8.1 Keyboard driver issue

I tried clean installing Windows 8.1 on my ThinkPad X201T
The Windows itself installs without any issue, but for some reason the keyboard drivers seem to be out of order. They will either not load up at all, or take incredibly long time to load up.
I've tried endless versions of Drivers, but none of them works to me. Newest drivers just don't work at all, and very old, early Windows 7 drivers and Vista-era drivers also have some problems.
Is there anyone who has successfuly set up Windows 8.1 and the drivers on ThinkPad X201, or other ThinkPads with 1st Gen Core i processor?

S10 Windows XP 64bits Video driver

I've tried installing the 64bits nVidia video driver for the Quadro 370 but the system doesn't boot. I've tested the video card in another pc and it works fine (under 32bits). I've successfully installed a Quadro 1700 under 64bits in my S10 but no luck with my 370. Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

what happens when the system doesn't boot? are you getting past POST? if so, are you seeing a BSOD?
are you installing the FX 370 by itself with no other video card (ie: not in conjunction with the FX 1700)?
what video driver version are you using? have you tried the latest available from nvidia's site?

Premiere 9 crash - video driver issue

Hi everyone,
I'm using PrE9 and everything was fine until afew days ago, the software would take longer than usual to render and finally crash at 97 - 98%. Yesterday the software displayed an error message when i open a project
I tried to update my display driver, remove and reinstall, still it always shows it, and causes PrE to crash during editing. Is it possible that the version 9 is no longer compatible with the lastest Nvidia drivers ?

Thanks for that info.
That looks like it would be the latest driver.
I cannot imagine why PrE would throw a video driver error with that.
I normally try to keep several older versions of my nVidia Quadro drivers around, in case a new one breaks something. Lately, the nVidia drivers seem to have all been good, but a couple of years ago, there were two in a row, that introduced some extreme-gaming modules for 3D viewing, and during that time, rolling back to a previous version was the fix. Recently, AMD/ATI has had a couple of their drivers that just did not work with Adobe products.
If you can try a roll-back, to perhaps the driver version right before that one, it might be worth testing.
Good luck,
Hunt

HP Business Inkjet 1000/1100 Windows 7/Server 2003 Driver Issues

Hi, wondering if anyone can help.
We are having problems with Windows 7 32-bit printer drivers and our print server which is on Server 2003, the printers concerned are a HP Business Inkjet 1000 and 1100. We have VMWare installed on our clients running Windows 7, I can add the printers locally onto any vdi desktop using the driver pre-installed on Windows 7 and it can print perfectly with both of those printers. I installed the same driver onto our print server, tried two ways, first I connected to the server through Print Management and updated the driver from one of our Windows 7 clients (which is how I've been instructed to do) and I've also tried finding the local printer on my Windows 7 desktop while logged in Server 2003, both ways appear to installed the driver with no errors but when you go to print it just prints 3 blank sheets no matter what you print, it even does this for the test page, also the Printing Defaults under the Advanced tab keep resetting themselves, it's not applying any changes I make.
I'm failing to understand how the driver can appear to work when installed locally on the desktop but when it drags it from Server 2003 it's not printing correctly when in essence it is the exact same driver .... is Server 2003 not liking the fact it's a Windows 7 driver?
I am using the HP Business Inkjet 1000 driver in-box on Windows 7 Enterprise for both printers. The reason I'm using this driver is because the XP version of this driver which we had on our print server would print but would not print out certain graphics and symbols when printing from Windows 7.
Anyone else had similar issues?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hey there Cindy

Video driver issue - black screen after XP loads

I've used Bootcamp to run Windows XP on my Macbook for the past year. No major issues up to this point...
Today I decided to update my graphics drivers on XP because I was going to install Starcraft II. I went to Nvidia website and it auto-detected the newest drivers...258.96 to be exact. After installation I restarted computer and booted up in XP again, this time the graphics were all messed up and it wouldn't let me switch to 32bit mode or a high resolution. I re-installed the drivers...booted up again..this time the desktop loaded but the screen was black. I do not know how to remove the drivers and revert to older ones since I can't see anything on the screen. All the sounds work when I start it up and power it down...files still there (can see files on HD when in OSX)...so I know it's just a graphics issue.
How do I revert back to a "more compatible" driver?

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.

Stefan

T61 Video driver issue when battery ran out

When battery ran out the display goes back to default. I
need to uninstall & reinstall the Nvidia drivers in order to correct the
issue.
Can you please advise? How to fix it permanently?

elementx, welcome to the forum,
if you could post your type and model number and which OS you have this would be a help. If your model number ends in CTO please provide some details about your T61 i.e. which graphic chip. This would help us to help you.
Which driver are you installing, maybe you could provide a link to it?
If you have a factory installation you could try installing the original driver which can be found in C:\swtools\drivers\video.
Thanks in advance

Satellite P300-1FY - BSOD due video driver issue

Hi,
I've bought this laptop a good month ago to replace my old one that had crashed beyond repair and I've been having problems with the video drivers ever since. I initially hoped the problem would solve itself since I am in the middle of my exams and I really don't have time too much extra time to spend on mending it myself, and I also can't give it back to the store since I need certain software for my exams.
So the problem I think lies with the video drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphic card. Whilst I am working on my laptop my screen all of a sudden turns black and my computer freezes (including very unpleasant sound when I'm playing music at the time) an after 5 seconds it flashes back into live and displays a message saying a beelschermstuurprogramma werkte niet perfect en is nu herstela. In English this would be something like s video drivers were not functioning correctly and have now been repaired.
This is of course hugely irritating but it became even more so a couple of weeks ago when I first got a blue screen because of a similar error. Leading me to lose half a hour of work on my laptop. (and as anyone who has ever had exams knows, half an hour is not something you can always afford to lose) I ran the wizard and it sent me to the ATI website to look for drivers.
The inconvenience is that I've been able to find a lot of drivers, but none for the 3400 series. After searching internet for a while I finally found some drivers for these series (or they claimed to be), however this installer was corrupt. I also searched the Toshiba website but I didn't find what I was looking for.
The laptop also freezes from time to time without the screen turning all black.
Could someone help me with this issue?
Louis-Philippe
P.S.: quality of the keyboard is really bad too

First of all you should post the exact BSOD code and what OS do you use. Then we can search on the Microsoft Knowledge Base for this issue and what is the reason for this.
So please post the BSOD code.
Furthermore I dont understand why you cant find a driver on the Toshiba website. The Satellite P300-1FY belongs to the PSPCCE series and therefore I can find a display driver for XP and Vista. So where is the problem? Maybe you should try to install this driver:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
But before you install the driver, remove the old driver first. Restart the notebook and clean your system with CCleaner. Restart the notebook again and then install the newest version from the Toshiba website.
The display driver on the manufactures website (ATI) doesnt work because its only for desktop cards and not for notebooks. So you cant install it and your notebook is only tested with the Toshiba drivers.
If the new driver doesnt work you should try to update the BIOS too. You can find on the Toshiba page.
Good luck!!

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

Of course not. Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum? This is a USER TO USER technical support forum. Apple doesn't post here.
