mobilenvidia Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 You can use XP drivers with the Vista OS, having a loss of AERO is all?I didn't know that; but before I ingest it, please confirm! I don't mind no old style CP, but what drives me nuts is not having advanced toys with the gpu: temperature, overclocking, detailed graphic control, powermizer, etc. Ben Yes you can install and use XP drivers in Vista and have the old CP as well if it's enabled in the first place (NVTWEAK can do this) And yes I also miss all those features, my tricks arn't working in enabling them. I have some work to do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xamzter Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 How can I enable my TV? I got the same problem with my Amilo 3438G GeForce Go 6800. The driver installs w/o any problems but the screen stays black after reboot. So I had to roll back to the 97.27 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfiejudd Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 No dice using the modified INF. I am using an XPS m170 with a 7800 GTX. correction was there in the INF as stated on the first page. Still nothing crashes at bootup just before you get to your login info.

HvacTechIV Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Installation went smoothly, system is up and running for 2 days. Don't seem to be any glitches thus far. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedric Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) I have a Quadro NVS 110M in a Dell Latitude D620 with Vista RTM Business. These drivers could be installed in safe mode via "Have Disk" option (yes, by default the card installed is "Geforce 7300 Go" :) ) ... ... but Vista think the drivers are not compatible with this modded inf (and i told him : i hope it is ! Install the 110M) ... ... and finally the screen is black or too corrupted to see the BSOD on reboot. :) --> Roll back to the vista default drivers (08/2006), which have a 2.1 score on aero performance test :/ Hardware ID : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_01D7&SUBSYS_01C21028&REV_A1 Edited December 6, 2006 by Caedric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakeod Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 So....according to the optimal driver chart on the forum, for a 6200 the best driver is a 84 driver... So, should I be trying to use the Vista 84 drivers or trying to use the latest Vista drivers like this one? I would assume that the latest ones but would more compatible with Vista so they might be more reliable...am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area51m-7700 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Niceeeee!!! These drivers work alot better on my system than the previous version. Gameplay is alot smoother and now without the annoying graphics reset problem. :) :P :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 The 84.xx recommended driver is for XP... since Vista is not officially available there is no need to recommended anything to the nerds that do the beta testing... they just won't listen. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dudek Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Can anybody tell me is this Vista driver supporting SmartDimmer or PowerMizer? Don't want my graphic to run on full all the time (heat & battery)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglehawk Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 My 7900GTX on my Dell XPS M1710 is getting this in the event log occasionally: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered. Event ID 4101. No biggy really, it just restarts and nothing gets effected. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
