@DoubleOBond Can you PLS make a tut on what you put? I'm still a bit confused on the install part you mention in the beginning.

[DoubleOBond]

@TheROWDYRAVEN just run the installer that you download, after it fails do the remaining steps.

HEy DoubleOBond  can u help me I want you to make a vid like how u did that cuz im confused

[DoubleOBond]

@tmcaptain0 What are you even asking?

[DoubleOBond]

Ok the way I got it to work is by doing that install, then going to computer -> properties -> device manager -> selecting my video card under display adapters-> then click update drivers -> then browse computer -> then finding where the extracted files are located (C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\285.6­2\WinVista_Win7_64\English\Dis­play.Driver) then finishing it out. I guess something is wrong with the installer, not so much the drivers. Thumbs up if this worked so others can know.

Had same problem was driving me crazy pardon the pun. But I solved it. downlaod the latest driver, and unpack it. It fail don't worry. Go into device manager and disable your display driver (mine is gtx 275) Go back into device manager and right clk on the now missing display driver and click update, then select manual, and direct the path to the c drive nvidea folder, this will fail, finally on dsply drvr right click, choose scan for hardware changes, congrats

@DoubleOBond I just have to decide now if I want to copy the files over to another drive and format the XP-SP2-32bit drive and install XP-SP3-32bit or install 7-64bit or 32-bit. If I do 7-64, I can see if the problem was in fact the win7 install, but if I do XP, then I can still have access to WinXP if I need it. It's moving 400gigs of data to an external USB and the remaining 100gigs between some other drives... I'm not sure what I want to do yet.

@DoubleOBond I am, I did some testing and I believe that it is actually a problem with windows7-64. I also booted to XP with drivers v191 everything worked fine, but I couldn't update because my "c" drive partition is 25mb as a boot partition and my WindowsXP partition is F: but the nvidia drivers store the files in a temp folder on C:\windows\Temp no matter what, so I couldn't update them. I used partition magic 8 to change the drive letters and it failed so XP is no longer bootable, LOL.

[DoubleOBond]

@guest2424 make sure you're using the appropriate drivers for that hardware.

[guest2424]

@DoubleOBond When I do that, mine says "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. There is no driver selected for the device information set or element." -OR- "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" and it goes into a low resolution.

I have the same exact error and can't fix it. Nvidia released new drivers 2/21/2012 and they still do the same error.
