GO 5700 BLUE SCREEN on 81.85

[mavrik1621]

Hey everyone.

Just registered today. Looked through a lot of the posts with my video card and still cant come up with a solution. I am so tired of this problem!

I have an HP ZD7260US with a GEFORCE FX GO5700 64MB currently running nv4_disp V. 6.14.10.5405.

My only reason for an upgrade in driver is to get back on Everquest I. I've played it with this notebook before, not knowing what the heck I did driver-wise previously to get it going, but I recently reformatted and am required by the game to upgrade my driver for my video card.

The message I am getting from the game is the following:

You currently have a NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700 (6.14.10.5405) video card installed. We recommend you download version 8185 drivers before playing EverQuest. You can pick up there drivers at http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp.

That last statement as everyone well-knows, is poopoo because most GO series cards are not supported by NVIDIA and only by the manufacturer when it comes to drivers. Going to HP only gets me the same driver I currently have and nothing upgraded.

I have tried several driver installs, including 81.85 and up, dropping in the edited nv4_disp.dll file. (After finally figuring out that much. After finally thinking I was able to install the most recent driver, I only got the BLUE SCREEN and dump of physical memory upon startup.

PLEASE HELP!!!! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!

Why would you be replacing a .dll?

Visit the Recommended driver FAQ. On the first table look for a driver that works on FX and is higher than 81.85.
