Ivresse Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Hi, 9500m GS I'm using Vista 64 bits and a 9700m GT graphic card with the modded driver 180.84 and it works great. However, trying to improve performance on newer games, I downloaded, modded the inf, then installed the 185.20, everything seems to work just fine, but I checked the Driver version in the Nvidia Control panel and it is still runnig the "old" 180.84. I have a friend with Vista32 and a 9500m GS, and he has exactly the same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution to this issue ?

Bades Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Ok, the problem might be that Vista might not have installed the driver correctly. So I would reinstall that driver again and make sure you have the right version. Use driver sweeper to remove the 180.84 drivers, otherwise you will get fragments of drivers floating around on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Best to check the modded inf first, if there's the right version written in it. Then check with RivaTuner, what it says about the versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivresse Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Tried to reinstall it again, did not work. Tried with desinstallation (and a run of driver sweeper also) and install of 185,20, it seems to have failed to copy files since I get 2 Start-up errors "File not found", and have no access to Nvidia Control panel - looks like the driver didn't install any file on my system. I got back to 180.84 until I find a solution :) (Besides, I checked the INF file, it's displaying the right version and does not seem to contain any error) Edited January 8, 2009 by Ivresse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bades Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I don't know what the problem could be, it might be the INF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivresse Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I tried manually modifying the inf, I tried using Mobility Modder, I tried the Inf from this site, none changes the issue :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 You could try with the original inf and have disk method - that's what I used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivresse Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Disk method ? If you have a link for a how-to, i'll take it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
