kkslider Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey, guys. Recently I've bought Dell Inspiron N5110 Hi2310D3C500BDS, and I've installed a WinXP 32-bit on it, because I like it, so do not suggest me to upgrade to Windows 7. Anyway, I've tried to find drivers for my GeForce GT 525M, but Nvidia stopped supporting XP right on the release I've needed. No problem, I've downloaded a leaked notebook XP release (if someone is curious, its' version number is 270.61, you can find the notebook version here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/270.61/270.61_notebook_winxp_32bit_international_whql.exe) and tried to install it. However, it gave me your usual This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. So I've searched the folder, where the installer unzipped the setup files, and skipped through ListDevices.txt. It said that my card is indeed supported, and the .inf-file is right there. I've tried to install it through "Have Disk"-method. Rebooting... And... nothing. So I've launched the Device Manager and started to compare the information. And I've found the problem. According to ListDevices.txt, the only Geforce GT 525M's modification the driver installer supports are: DEV_0DEC&SUBSYS_COA0144D, DEV_0DEC&SUBSYS_COA5144D, DEV_0DEC&SUBSYS_COAE144D, DEV_0DF5&SUBSYS_C0AE144D, while my device has DEV_0DF5&SUBSYS_04CA1028. So I've surfed the Net, trying to find some kind of method to bypass that and stumbled upon this site and this forum. And now I want to ask: are there any method to mod the .inf-file and solve my problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Remove the subsys strings from the inf or replace with your card strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkslider Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 In what part of it? The .inf-file is called nvsm.inf, I might as well attach it. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?jwx6jqc79wej9cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Huh, somehow this hasn't been noticed. I'm not familiar with XP - but this might work for DEV_0DF5&SUBSYS_04CA1028: nvsm.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
