Driver is a Nightly Build according to modes.txt (as v96.94 was, too)

INF features VISTA's new driver versioning scheme:

  • old: DriverVer = 11/03/2006, 9.6.9.8
  • new: DriverVer = 11/03/2006, 6.14.10.9698

Original INF only supports:

  • %NVIDIA_G80.DEV_0191.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0191
  • %NVIDIA_G80.DEV_0193.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0193

i dont understand why version is 96.98, and version vista is 96.85 ???

Is it compatible with vista ? ( INF features VISTA's new driver versioning scheme )

Did you asked yourself the same question when switching from w98 to w2k then from w2k to wXP...

nVidia increases it's driver version whatever the OS... w2k/wXP - wVista - Linux. The current drivers hover in the late 90s.

Strange, My m5500 runs all the 90's fine. :)

Try uninstalling the current ones and running Driver Cleaner, there might be some file from 92.91 preventing it to update...?

No avail; running Driver Cleaner, and installing these drivers first after a clean install still leads to a BSOD and stalling during startup.

What is different in your INF than the Modded INF at the top of the page? Could that possibly help alleviate my issues?

I have the same one but i'm using vista right now. the 84.26 is more stable than the other drivers that you can use. I would suggest keeping the 84.26 :)

Edit: Also, those dell drivers that he used to/still do advise using are pretty good too. :)

Just reporting that I've installed this driver on my Sony VGN-AR21M with no problems at all.

Thanks to everyone involved in creating the modded INF.
