I am using NVidia GeForce FX 5500 256 MB RAM on my home PC. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC and everything worked smoothly including Aero to the highest quality where drivers were from Windows Update. Now, I got licensed Windows 7 Professional. When I update the driver from Windows Update everything works just fine until I shut down the PC and turn it on again. When I do that after OS finishes loading, screen suddenly goes blank. After like 2 minutes, system gives a blue screen and restarts. This time Windows successfully makes it to desktop saying that Windows recovered from an unexpected shutdown. When the report is prepared it says something went wrong with the video card drivers. The same thing happens even if I install the latest drivers for Vista directly from nVIDIA website as there is no Windows 7 drivers for FX 5500.
It has only been a few hours since XFastest have released the new GeForce 185.20 beta drivers, including a new release of Nvidia's PhysX engine 8.11.18.
Yet what's particularly noteworthy is that these new drivers contain an Ambient Occlusion setting that can be set to Low, Medium, High and Off.
From the description in Nvidia Control Panel:
Ambient Occlusion adds realism to scenes by reducing the intensity of ambient light on surfaces blocked by surrounding objects. It enhances depth perception by providing a soft shadow effect for objects based on their placement in the scene. This feature is not supported for all applications.
Basically, Ambient Occlusion is used to create soft, ambient lighting shadows, emulating diffused lighting such as daylight or indoor ambient lighting. For a more articulate description, refer to the Wikipedia definition here.
Additionally, Hardware-Infos has a write-up comparing GeForce 185.20 beta to several popular drivers releases issued in the second half of 2008.
The drivers are available for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows 7 build 7000 and can be found here.
I need to get a netbook for my fiancee, who's not actually my fiancee, but my promitida (Spanish). Unfortunately, it's not easy to get such a thing in this country that has neither English nor French on it. I'd rather not buy a device, pay for the Windows on there, and then pay again for the Spanish one. Is it possible to paragrade the language from, say, English to Spanish?don't say Windows 7 Ultimate, because that's hardly cost-effective. I just need to change the system language, not support multiple languages.how to get a netbook with Spanish Windows on it (including a Spanish keyboard) in this country (Canada), that'd be great!
I just installed Windows 7 to my Apple iMac (latest generation from Apple) on a Boot Camp partition. The solve PC issues window says I need to update my driver and includes a direct download but I prefer to get the update directly from the source. I think that the GeForce/ION Driver Release 190 is the graphics driver I need.
NVIDIA DRIVERS 190.62 WHQL
When I run the driver test on the nvidia website it says I need the Notebook Release 186 but the 9400 is not listed under supported devices. Again, I'm 99% sure that I need the GeForce/ION Driver Release 190 but I don't want to screw anything up.
I Have a HP Compaq 5500 Microtower Business desktop. It currently is running Windows XP Professional SP3. It has a 3.0 GHZ Intel Pentium 4 Processor in it with 1 GB of RAM. It is current joined to My Home Active Directory Domain. I was Thinking of Upgrading the RAM to 2 or 3 GB & putting Windows 7 Professional on it & Re-joining it to the Domain. Do you think it is worth upgrading?
I have an HP 5500 series printer & I cannot get it installed in my HP TouchSmart Windows 7 computer. I have tried everything under the sun. Can someone please help me?
96.85 is the driver comes with Windows Update for FX 5200 cards. The problem is this driver makes my computer freeze at random times. For full details This Thread.
I've found 97.34 and 98.16 are also compatible and enable Aero. However all of those cause my system lock up as told in the linked thread. I am using 169.21 Forceware which is a XP driver and that can't support Aero interface.
Is it a way to combine this two working and not working drivers? Like modded INFs?
what is the newest driver for my graphic card.I have GeForce GT 440 and i have problems with my PC.So maybe the problem is that i need a new driver.My problem i think is quite complicated.I don't have an option about the refresh rate(only 60 hz) and when i 'm trying to play NBA2k12 it says:OUT OF RANGE:106.4kHz/85Hz.
I've just been trying out 7 and am liking it but I've been unable to find a driver that works successfully. I've searched all the threads and tried nvidia's website but no luck. I'm 99.9% sure I have the GeForce FX5200 (it was called Personal Cinema I think when I got it years ago)
Currently Device Manager is showing 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter' and I've tried using 190.62 but that doesn't recognise the hardware either.
Does anyone know where I can find a working driver for this card and 7? Also should I reseat the card in case thats why it has not been recognised?
