surefire Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Does anyone know how to extract the contents of an .exe file How does laptopvideo2go extract the contents nv4_disp.ini from the sony vga driver.exe Pls help. I need to update my laptop drivers. Sony is very lazy. They never update their drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 First step we take is to use either 7zip or Winrar. In the case of Sony they are specially packed and requires some trickery... I'm not sure if there is another method but mine is quite involved. If you are asking this then I presume we don't have this driver? All drivers we have contain the original files including those from multiple OEM vendors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx for the response, but ever since laptopvideo2go existed, all your drivers renders the brightness control of any Sony laptop useless. I know OEM Sony drivers control the brightness of LCD. But your generalised driver ver. makes Sony laptops unable to control brightness. Thats why I would like to investigate the nv4_disp of my Sony OEM driver.exe to know exactly whats missing from yours. You guys are great. I can imagine PC gaming world without you guys..... S A D ! ! ! So how do you extract the contents of a sony packaged driver.exe What did you mean by the statement "I'm not sure if there is another method but mine is quite involved" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surefire Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I figured it out my self. Any application.exe that is executed copies itself, in other words its contents to a temp folder. So I have been able to locate the temp folder. So I will be editing the NV_SZ.ini Thanx for reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think you found Teraphy's involved way to getting the driver extracted. What driver are you playing with, is it hosted here ? If not a link to it would be great :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
