Guest Guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Did you replace them modded INF file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelz Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Did you replace them modded INF file? Im not gonna put a modded inf file if my video card is not listen in the code.. None of those listed my video card which meanas its not for my card. Hence doing so would prolly screw my machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I have a dell 1330 and I use the modded inf file from this website and the drivers run fine. I have been using different drivers from this website to play games on my computer and have not had any problems what so ever. I would recommend that you give it a try. If you are unhappy with the performance you can alway go back. dell doesn't update their driver programs very often and you might end up waiting quite a while for a new driver from dells website to come out.

Use the modded INF, many people do. The worst thing that will happen is artifacts, unstability och low performance. If so, just switch back. And like the previous post said, the alternative is waiting six months for an update from your vendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO it does not need to list my particular card model for it to be used? So if i take the lastest one on the site i see that is for xp is ForceWare X 163.75 for Windows XP/2K 32bit now in the code file there I dont see my video card listed (geforce go 7800) now your saying I can use this by just downloading the modded inf and placing it in my current drivers folder overwritting my current inf file and it will work just fine.. I just want to make sure I do this right is all. Can't crucify me for that right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 That's all you have to do. Replace the inf from the driver download with the modded inf. Then install it. I am running vista 32 bit and didn't like how the 163.75 driver ran. A little choppy. But if your running XP it might be fine. I'm always trying different drivers out from this webpage and some work better then others. 163.67 I think has been the best one for me so far.

I just wanted to make sure.. so modded inf file means it will work with all vid card no matter if its a laptop card or desktop? Wait and your saying i prolly can run a vista driver on xp? Never knew i could do that either :) Thot that was out of the question :) Also one last thing how do I know if it worked? Just use that GPUZ program?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 To see which driver you are running goto the device manager and look for display adapters. open it up and select properties. Look at the driver information it should say something like xx.x163.67 or something along that line. basically the last few numbers represent the driver. Also their is a date field on that screen just check and see if the date changed from your old driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it :) I found the same thing about the 163.67 works best :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
