pyrot Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi, I got a big problem. I have an Acer 5920g with Windows home Premium 32bit. The installed driver 101.19 works without any problems. But when I uninstall this driver and install for example the 163.44 driver (with correct inf) I get only a white screen with funky colered vertical lines when Vista starts. I tried everything already, like fresh Install from Anytime Upgrade DVD where`s only a standard driver. But after installing a newer one I get the problem. I tried many 160 and 150 drivers. I`m really desperate. The strange thing is, that Windows XP works fine with 163.44 XP driver (at least the desktop). But I wanna use Vista. Can anyone help ?

pyrot Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi, I still didn`t get rid of the problem. My notebook is useless with this issue. I even bought the new version of drivercleaner. But that didn`t solve my problem. Could it be a hardware problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damodevil Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Why the hell dont you just download the official driver from nvidia's website? use the link below....im assuming its 32bit...its version 162.22 http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownlo...nglish_whql.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 NVIDIA official 162.22 doesn't support his ACER 5920, that why he tried to use the driver and INFs from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest byF Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have the same problem (same notebook). I would like to play Bioshock, unfortunately, it needs the newest nvidia drivers (162.44). However even the older version doesn't work.

Guest Guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Maybe try the tweakforce drivers..tweakforce.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Tweakforce drivers really aren't that much different from the ones available here... If you open up their INFs you can see that they actually use Pieter's INF with some other tweaks. Might be worth a shot though. Try 163.15 or 163.16 if you haven't already. I haven't had any troubles with them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest byF Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 However those tweakforce ones have been functional for me. I've not almost hoped, I could ever play Bioshock :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrot Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Tried the newest Tweak force XG Mobile 163.44 Vista 32bit already a week ago. Same problem. I even bought the newest driver cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 pyrot, open the 163.44 Vista 32bit thread, download the driver and the modded INF, extract our driver, delete all .INF files which exist in the folder, put in Pieter's INF (modded INF), uninstall old driver, use driver cleaner, install new driver and you are all set. It seems to me as if you forgot to use Pieter's INF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrot Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) I did that already many times. And of course I used Pieter`s inf otherwise the installation wouldn`t be possible on my laptop. But actually there are some drivers that work from this site (with correct inf). But only the old ones like 101.19 (same as installed) and 101.26.

®®® Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Post a NERD logfile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrot Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Shall I make this NERD logfile in safe mode ? Is this useful when the driver isn`t loaded then ? Or shall I make the logfile with an old working driver ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 SafewMode doesn't work with NERD. Best results we get if any NVIDIA driver is installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Apparently the 162.15 driver works. I have the same laptop and am about to try it. Fingers crossed... http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=13894 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
