Nvidia Drivers

Bright Red Nipples · Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2003 6:33 pm Post subject: Nvidia Drivers

I am looking for some drivers for my nvidia card. As most of you know I installed a new hard drive and I am starting from scratch.

I went to Nvidia's website and all I could find was 1 general driver for a bunch of different cards. I downloaded and attempted to install it and an error came up saying something about screwing up windows XP settings or something. I installed it anyways. It did not take care of the current problems I'm having.

I would appreciate any help I can get on this. I have a GEForce2 MX 400 with 64 megs ram.

Did you remove your older drivers first and change the default back to Standard PCI before re-installing the new one ?

You do have Direct X installed ?

Version: 44.03 Release Date: May 14, 2003 WHQL Certified*<---Click

other than that I'd contact support

Same one I already downloaded Species. It may say that it's certified but it pulls up an error when you install it. I installed everything correctly or at least the way I did it with the original hard drive. I unfortunately didn't keep the old update. It got lost somehow.

Okay first off make sure u have directX 9.0 installed because those nividia drivers require that u have 9.0 installed. Oh and when they tell
that those drives aren't certified by Microsoft click Continue.

Install this first DirectX 9.0 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

Then this Nvidia drivers http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_44.03

Can u be more specific about what problems ur having?

EDIT: * 44.03 is WHQL Certified for the GeForce FX family of GPUs. Which means the older Geforce family doesn't have the certified drivers.

That's the only driver that I saw for your card BRN. Have you contacted support on this ? I would try another driver from this list Click Here

Remember that after you uninstall your old drivers to check your registry
referring to anything nvidia and remove the key.

I am still trying a few different tweaks before I take the time to talk to the morons at tech support. My Nvidia card has been awesome. I have had absolutely no complaints except for this new problem. If I can't get it fixed then I will just buy a better vid card.

just an update on the detonator drivers...that new 44.03 pack made things funky on my system on a reformat (GF 2 TI 64m DDR)...I rolled them back and got the 43.45 (if you go to nvidia driver archive area) and everything is ok now......
