mobilenvidia Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 293 changes to version 3 of my INF and it's time for a change :) v4 has been made and now needs to be tested by any volunteers that are willing and able. v4 INFs are based on the new 185.xx series INF, these use a new INF scheme, which should make INF modding easier in the future. Spent 2 nights reworking the PCI_ID's to the new style, I'm very confident that Vista/Win 7 x86 and x64 will work as they should. WinXP I'm not so confident on as for some reason nVidia changes the sections that the GPU's are in with Vista versions. These INFs have NO tweaks added to them. For now just interested in getting these to work with all GPU's When installing you will get an error saying NVCPL.DLL can't be found. This is a NVIDIA error and can be ignored, once you reboot after the install all is well. NVIDIA's trying to run an App that only gets installed after the reboot. The INFS are below, consider these beta hence not in the driver posts These are for 185.68, but should work happily for other 185 series drivers as well. Vista/Win 7 x86 Vista/Win7 x64 WinXP x86 WinXP x64 Feedback encouraged, WinXP x86 and x64 may need a little tweaking If you have feedback be it good or bad, please please state what OS version you are using and whether it's x86 or x64, as the iNFs are different internally INF v4.002 fixed: All contain single quote on line NVIDIA_DEV.06EC.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce G 105M' V x64 Missing [commonDisplayModes_addreg__01] INF v4.003 fixed: WinXP x86 and x64 got some fixes, pretty confident now these should also work now INF v4.004 fixed: Small typo in WinXP x64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casketizer Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Are those just for 185.x series, or do they work with 182.x series too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 All contain single quote on line NVIDIA_DEV.06EC.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce G 105M' V x64 Missing [commonDisplayModes_addreg__01] X x64: Sections 8-10 not defined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelios Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I still have the same problem with all 185.65 and later no mater .inf ver i use even the v4.001 ....image artifacts when changing from perf. 3D to perf 2D or low 2D frequency and opposite........any help??

Ver Greeneyes Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Just a silly nitpick: the English plural of PCI-ID would be PCI-IDs, not PCI-ID's (though we Dutch are very fond of the latter). (appears in ";PCI-ID's by www.laptopvideo2go.com") Something I noted in the addreg sections: do "nvwgf2umx.dll" and "nvwgf2um.dll" need to be added twice? I don't really know how the registry settings work, but it seems redundant. Finally, why isn't the "0x00004000" (replace after reboot if file is in use) flag used for every file? I guess it still works alright, but it seems inconsistent. And Teraphy is right about the single quote typo. Otherwise, it looks very clean - good job!

ID's, IDs I have no ideas ('s) :) The INF is as modified from NVIDIA's original, so there are some inconsistencies I can work on. Main aim was to get it working first so that I can then mod it some more for enhancements. I noticed nvwgf2umx.dl as well, but for sake of keeping things original kept it in there. WinXP is still a work in progress, would like to not mod these at all, everyone should migrate to Win 7 and be done with it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinXP is still a work in progress, would like to not mod these at all, everyone should migrate to Win 7 and be done with it :) Yeah, the only reason I'm so acutely aware of the deal with apostrophes is because they're used differently in Dutch :P I don't always agree with it either.. I mean what if you want to pluralize something like the letter 'a'? as <- weird but presumably correct As <- looks better but might be confusing in context a's <- wrong, Dutch way of doing it 'a's <- probably right, but annoying Anyway yeah, apostrophes are used for possessive forms: "Pieter's inf", "Greeneyes' inf"; but never for plurals. Sorry if treating this like a serious issue comes across as pompous, I just thought it looked weird ... Is the WinXP inf significantly different? I could give it a look over too.

mobilenvidia Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 INF modding is just monotonous work, mistakes easily creep in, especially in the XP case where I have to allow for so many variables :) Just need some more time to go through and iron things out. The new scheme is a lot better on the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new scheme is a lot better on the eye Lazy.... :unsure: In all seriousness.. good job.. :) tis a ton of work for one person. :P Everything in the INF starts looking the same after working on 'em a while. The new scheme is laid out better and makes more sense. Still don't get the point of the control panel in a separate installer though.

mobilenvidia Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The whole CP in the installer makes sense, could do with better compression though. Keep it nice and tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I can't download them with any tools！I think it's caused by the IP restrictions，I am in CHINA，hope you can solve the problem！I like your drivers very very much！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 So are you having trouble with drivers ? which are *.exe Or the INFs which are *.inf There is not much I can do, it works for the vat majority of people. Your ISP or Work might be blocking exe's and/or INFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Updated WinXP x86 and x64 to v4.003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot44 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Many thanks for XP version. For those of us making a living with graphics software such as ADOBE CS4 Photoshop, we need a stable platform (I know vista is great but not for me) to keep going. I'll probably switch to Windows 7 once it is verified that there are no problems with Adobe's suite of graphic products. Until then, I extend my thanks to you and Dox for keeping us poor XP users up-to-date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I could download your drivers when the download address is beginning of www.laptopvideo2go.com，for example the 185.68?s address is www.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/185series/18568_vista.exe，I can download this driver。BUT when the address is beginning of files.laptopvideo2go.com，for example the dox 186.68?s address is files.laptopvideo2go.com/Dox/Vista/Vista_185.68.exe，I can't download it。So I can't download the INF V 4.003;because it's address is beginning of files.laptopvideo2go.com;wish you could solve the problem;Thanks！！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
