when i installed Windows 7 it had the WDDM drivers installed they seemed stable didnt have any crashes in short time they were on but...
when i played games eg L4D (via steam), msg came up saying drivers not up to date
so i decided to DL latest ATI drivers now i get constant driver crash (prob once an hour ish), but only to extent black screen to 2 secs and then back all good, only real prob is it resets my Fan adjustmens via Rivatuner back to std
should i go back to WDDM drivers? are they worth reverting or should i stick out ATI ones, or is there a better option
...did drivers not install properly, anyone else got this problem?
I'm just trying to get Aero working and it's saying my driver isn't compatible."The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver."I've got the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and haven't really been able to find a solid answer if there is a compatible driver. If there is no driver can I just install a different graphics adapter or will I need a new card? [code]
I've installed the provided graphic drivers for my Toshiba Satellite l30 for win XP. the resolution (1200*800) works fine but i canot even use the "standard" colour scheme (i'm using home basic). (it is not even displayed in the options). if i use any graphic dependant software, it would jus hang up and there u go!, The BSOD!
I downloaded the latest wddm supported graphic drivers for my card 2 years ago from microsoft and i stil have them but the thing is i forgot how to replace or update the existing driver. the drivers given by the microsoft is not in an exe form but a bunch of dlls and an inf file in a .cab. i tried updating the driver from device manager but with no sucess. i made it work few months ago but hate myself now that i forgot.
Microsoft says you need a "DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver" for Windows 7. How can I tell I have the proper one? I have a GeForce FX 5200 DirectX 9.0.
I have an HTPC with an Asus P5E-VM HDMI mobo with IG35 onboard graphics and a E8400 Core 2 Duo 3 GHz CPU with dual boot Vista 32bit and Windows 7 32bit setups. HD works OK under Vista 32 bit using the latest Intel Vista driver but it struggles under Windows 7 using the WDDM 1.1 driver automatically installed by Windows.
The stuttering is fairly random but occurs very frequently and most likely due to the CPU maxing out under HD resolutions (as I assume most of the graphic processing is being done in software). When I look at CPU performance while displaying HD, it shows that the CPU is working very hard. If I set the screen resolution down to 1024x768, it copes OK.
Should there be some hardware graphics acceleration with the onboard GPU under the Windows 7 driver or does it have to rely heavily on the CPU? I don't understand why my CPU is not coping as it's a good spec. Are there any tweaks or settings that would improve things? I cannot understand why performance under Vista should be better than under Windows 7.
If I can't get it to work properly, I might have to put back in my noisier HD 4670 512Mb GDDR3 card to take the load off the CPU which I shouldn't have thought to have been necessary.
i am trying to troubleshoot problems with transparency and other aero effects and results says the current video card may support aero with a driver that is compliant with the WDDM, then I must seek for a compatable driver
I have plan to write virtual monitor drivers for Windows 7. But I couldn't find any help for the same.provide sample source of WDDM driver for Windows 7 64 bit..?
I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and I just noticed that all my drivers for the USB controllers, Audio/Sound devices and the Networking internet (Broadcom Netxtreme Drivers) have all died. They indicate that a Code 39 is the problem. I tried to load some of the drivers but it wouldn't allow them to install. I did a last known configuration attempt, no results. Did a system restore and it gave me an error message saying it didn't restore properly. I am trying to get the drivers online, burn them to a disk and load them. I have no internet access on that PC and the USB ports obviously don't work. I can get drivers on this PC online. Some I can't find. I did the uninstall driver, disable, all the usual for this problem. I am stumped. Any recovery attempts produce nil results. Thanks to Microsoft, I have no installation disc to do a new install or a backup image.
I'm taking a ghosted image to another machine. On the image I have my device drivers set with static IP (e.g. Local Area Connection 1 is the static IP I want). I have two local area connections, 1 and 2, and 1 is what I want it to be while 2 is a default Microsoft IP.I put that image onto another system and after loading it I don't have Local Area Connections 1 and 2 anymore but Local Area Connections 3 and 4. When I first boot, the computer says Device Drivers Successfully Installed.Why am I losing Local Area Connections 1 and 2 and thus creating 3 and 4 which both have default Microsoft IPs? I want to retain the Local Area Connection 1 that has the static IP that I desire.
Having issues with RAID0 array being detected by Windows7 Ultimate x64 as SCSI. Apparently these drivers are the 'default' drivers that install when the RAID array is initialized. There is no option at this point to install other drivers instead.Using DeviceManager, there is an option to 'update drivers', and regardless of the method chosen, even selecting the file for a previously-downloaded set of drivers, Windows7 always comes back with a message of "Windows has determined that the best drivers for your system are already installed". Considering that SCSI drivers are the OLDEST ones out there, and actual SCSI devices are becoming rarer and rarer, how is it that these drivers cannot be replaced with more current and more applicable drivers?
I've recently been having various issues with my pc, among the things I tried to do was update my graphics card driver: found the newest driver crashed madly, and rolled back.What benefits are there in going for the newer ATI Catalyst drivers compared to the one defaulted by windows but which hasn't updated in 3 years. Generally what could have changed? Compatablity? If it works it works. Stablity? Performance? Heat management?Since it takes me 2 hours to download a driver (slow connection) I'm sticking on my Windows 7 default ones: I know they work. It does make me ask though if there is a benefit to upgading after i've got my PC stable again.
Whats the recommended installation procedure for installing drivers for specific hardware from a developers site or using the windows 7 default drivers?
For example when I install my windows 7 x64 Betas it found and installed the drivers for my chipset and everything fine. However browsing my Motherboard manufactures website I see they Drivers for chipset, audio, and other components I can download.
Would you recommend I stick with Microsoft drivers or use the drivers on the developers site?
whether I can replace the Elantech drivers with Synaptics drivers, I have tried adjusting the sensitivity in my Elantech touchpad in my Acer Aspire 5750 but still not comfortable with it.I have tried to use windows7 generic drivers by uninstalling Elantech drivers but when I restart Elantech drivers are installed again. would preferably like to install Synaptics drivers if that's possible but I am not sure whether that will work.
I have a simple question, I recently fresh installed Windows7 and was wondering if I should Install the new mobo drivers from the ASUS site (i have an ASUS P5Q Pro) or should I just keep the current microsoft drives for all the chipsets/lan/etc. The only Thing I installed was the Realtek sound driver. Would there be any advantages to install proper drivers? because right now my computer runs perfectly stable and smooth using the Windows7 ones.
