I accidental uninstalled a nvida driver from my control panel. Now everything looks huge. I need to fix it and don't know which version of the driver I need to download to get it back to normal.
I'm still 3 days old to Windows 7 and i had this problem.
I installed the latest driver for Windows 7 for my display card ATI HD3870 and downloaded the driver from the official website.
My problem is, after installing the driver.
The installer didn't prompt me to restart the computer.
But since my notification area didn't appear any of ATI icon so i restart it.
But yet after restarting my pc i still don't see any icon and i went to check program files and i saw ati technologies but inside it i don't see a single item.
It's an empty folder.
So did i went to device manager and right click on my display driver and press update driver but it says I'm on the latest driver already.
when I am downloading the latest Realtek drivers, I am having serious problems. For example, when I open the file, it says along the lines of "Invalid file, please download again" . I've downloaded it twice, using both .zip files and .exe file. I am using Google Chrome. Anyone else having this problem?
nvidia control panel shows 2nd monitor as vga but is dvi and doesnt work it recognizes otherwise as fine in the windows settings and nvidia control panel it got reset ? after I woke it up from sleep how do i force it back?
I just rebuilt my system -- new motherboard, CPU, memory, HDD and OS. My previous hard drive died. Fortunately, everything was backed up onto a portable hard drive using Windows Backup in Vista.
I went with a new full retail version of 64-bit Windows 7 on my rebuilt system. I now need to create the other User Accounts and restore all our files from the Vista backup. I want to make sure I don't mess things up, so I have two questions:
(1) Is there anything I need to do to make sure my Windows settings don't get messed up when I use that 32-bit Vista backup to restore my files onto my new 64-bit Windows 7 system?
(2) There are 4 user accounts on the backup (mine and 3 others). My account was, of course, created during the installation of W-7. Should I create the other 3 user accounts before running Restore, or do they get created automatically during the restore process?
How do I prevent Win 7 from automatically downloading the HP Laserjet 2800 driver for my Epson AL M2800 printer? This driver becomes the default driver (and does not work) over the Epson Universal Laser P6 (which does work). Everyday, when turn on my computer, the HP driver is reloaded (no way to stop it). Unless I remove it, I cannot make the Epson driver the default. I've tried GPEDIT.MSC to enable and disable auto downloading where appropriate, but zilch. Also tried to alter Windows update so that it would ask me, but it doesn't.
I installed the latest Nvida driver 190.38 for my 9600GT and I just noticed that I now have Nvida Stereostopic3D drivers installed under programes and fetures. I am never going to be using this so just wanted to know is safe to remove and will it affect anything thing else?
For those who are looking for more information on the recent Nvidia drivers supplied by the Tutorials here on Seven Forums can read this PDF file put out by Nvidia.
When I first installed the OS I used windows update in order to install a driver for my vid card. I am now trying to use a driver from nvidia. I go through the entire process of installation smoothly, restart, but when I go back into the device manager the same microsoft driver is there.
I did quite a bit of looking around and there seem to be lots of people with Nvidia problems in Win 7, however not exactly what I'm seeing.
First off when I ran the "Windows Experience Index" I get a 5.7 rating for "gaming graphics" but only a 1.0 for graphics (Areo performance)
Along with that I am noticing "slowness" with desktop and IE rendering performance. For example it takes a long time to browse to a new page (much longer than it did under vista) or to even open a new blank tab. I have also noticed slow performance with the built in games. When dealing cards for solitare, the dealing animation "stutters" and when starting mine sweeper, the animation of the board being drawn "stutters" too.
I had this behavior with the Nvidia 191.07 drivers so I decided to give the Nvidia beta 195.39 drivers a try. They too show the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions what I can do to get things working better? Is anyone else seeing this with a similar (or different) configuration?
I've had it! 3rd time I install Windows 7, 3rd time I'm having ****ty problems because of the Graph Cards driver!
Is there any SIMPLE way to make it work? I have of course already tried to install the driver, but all I got was **** like "This program did not install. Try again later.."
I've been having this issue with NVIDIA drivers for my GeForce GTX 460; the driver seems to be doing fine (screen turns black at one point for a few seconds then goes back to normal, not sure if that's intended) but then after a while, it simply stops. It doesn't freeze or give me an error message, it just stops working for several hours.
I have an nVidia Quadro in my desktop here at work, just installed Windows 7 Pro 32Bit (trying all the flavors before rolling out to prospective clients).
I can get multiple displays running but I've encountered a problem that has driven me to the breaking point.
From my onboard VGA, I can get full resolution and a great picture. From my Quadro all I get in dual dispaly (not the full 3 or 4 I want) and when it does display on two screens together, it's mirrored.
The display options are only seeing the monitors and Generic PnP and it detects the two both as monitor "1". Their resolution is stuck to 1024x768.
Here's the stranger part: In my Hardware Profiles, it has 2 Standard VGAs listed in Device Manager and 2 "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family". One of the "Intel" chip and one of the "Standard VGA" each are showing that the devices could not start.
I've uninstalled the drivers for all 4, rebooted, removed them from device manager and even switched my BIOS to boot from the onboard instead of Auto (Dell BIOS).
To finally confound things more, when I do reboot, guess what displays on the BIOS? QUADRO!
My BIOS obviously recognizes and identifies the card, but 7 is just throwing it down. I've tried the new Forceware drivers as well as every driver nVidia had listed for Windows 7 32bit for every model of NVS Quadro with no avail, it just says that no matching hardware is found.
Can this be addressed and fixed or should I just start getting rid to roll over clients video cards like crazy?
I bought a new desktop with vista in it. After upgrading to windows 7, i installed my nvidia driver for GT230. However, after restarting windows 7 goes to the desktop but nothing loads. No taskbar, no explorer, just a movable mouse.
I switched into safe mode and rollback the drivers and used the standard VGA driver, however whenever i try to install nvidia drivers, the same thing happens.
i downloaded a new version of nvdia drivers but it is not compatible. so iuninstalled it..now my pc arising a problem that "current ethernet driver doesn't support -nvidia forceware network access manager"
I was playing a game while my pc froze. So i restart my computer directly and while my pc boots i see messed up graphics for my hardware logos. This confirmed me, even before my pc started, that something had gone wrong with my 3d card.
As windows booted up i log into 800x600 resolution (not what i use). Then i find out from Device Manager that windows is stopping my XFX 9800GT display adapter. Exact error was "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
This is what i have tried so far:
1. Removing display drivers from Add and Remove Software and reinstalling them manually. Did not work. Driver installs ok but it still says that "stopped" message in device manager.
2. Letting windows update download the driver. Which it did, but after it was not installed. Got an error message "code 80070002".
3. Tried Driver Sweeper in safemode and installed drivers. After restarting getting same error in device manager.
Problem im getting is that now most of my other pc software is not working, like firefox, windows messenger etc. It just says ABC.exe has stopped working. Plus any kind of text is now slightly hazy. Like water dropped on ink writing. But i guess that is to be expected when there is no video driver installed.
By the way im using Windows 7 Home premium 32 bit.
