61.80 unaccessed to geforce parameters

[Guest Os2dino]

Hello,

Laptop model : gericom hollywood 6080

graphic card : geforce 4 440 go 64mo

current driver version : 61.80

last working but with the notepad bug : 61.11 beta

last real working version : original gericom drivers

operating system : windows 2000 adv srv with SP4 and directx 9b

The problem is that when I want to access nvidia parameters the screen switch back in 640x480 16colors and when I return to the nvidia parameter it's like I haven't setup any drivers. The driver seems back on when I set the resolution upper than 640x480!!??

I've search and read on all the forum but no one seems got the same troubles.

If I miss it thank to tell me where is the answer...

Sorry for my english I'm not english!

Make sure you have uninstalled the old drivers first.

Use Control panel's 'Add Remove Programs' to remove the nVidia driver.

Older drivers used different names and might hang around.

After uninstalling driver reboot, now when windows reboots it will find new hardware (Video), point this towards the place where you have the driver that you want to install. (make sure that the directory only contains the modified nv4_disp.inf, ie no other files ending inf !

It should ask to install a monitor just let windows find this automaticly.

Now reboot, this is the proper way to install drivers, if you still have problems, then something might be causing the problems, ie a corrupt dll, background program, or just old files hanging around.

I reformat my HD several times a year, to keep the system running optimum.

you may have to resort to this and install a new driver from the start (ie don't install old driver first)

Hope this helps,

Pieter.
