156.55 forceware issue in xp

[jose_gomez]

I got forceware for nvidia geforce go 7150m version 156.55. I installed it and then the screen turned black and then goes to the screen and frozes and then turns black again and then the screen turns off and the cpu fan goes on median speed.

Have you used Driver Sweeper in order to clean the old drivers from the system first? If not, you should try. Additionally, you might also try using different driver versions.

i still dont get why people are using these low driver versions??

why not use 180.42 or something newer?

enlighten me please! haha

Why this ancient version?

Well... Add this line to the inf:

HKR,, ModesetBlankDelay, %REG_DWORD%, 1

Do a clean reinstall, should work.

They might want to use these drivers because of HP made it which means the fans might run better and SmartDimmer works there. I don't use it, this is what the HP ITRC forum folks just said when I asked why they suggested old drivers. :) I myself think the newer drivers work better.
