Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Guys, I noticed that you guys mod older drivers to suit newer cards. I know this isn't a laptop question but..... Is it possible to mod the 43.45 drivers so that I can use them with my 6600GT? These are the only drivers that I can use with my older game reliably and I'm desperate to get them working with this card. All help truly appreciated, Cheers, Neil :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Your wish my command. Now remember that the go6600 wasn't thought of when this driver was made. So anything can happen, but it should install. Attached is modded INF with both go6600's added. Enjoy, and tell us how you got on. nv4_disp.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you ROCK :) Sorry for the late reply, will give this a go as soon as I can set up my dual XP boot. Now that's what I call service. Thanx heaps, will let you know how I went on.

Guest Guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Isn't there a misunderstanding: Go6600 unequals 6600GT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 ................Attached is modded INF with both go6600's added.Enjoy, and tell us how you got on. Hiya, The drivers with the inf added seemed like it skipped most of the install and the card was still looking for drivers after the reboot. I was wondering myself about the mention of the Go6600, and maybe there was a misunderstanding as I have a 6600GT. Maybe this is why it didn't work this time? Is it possible/necessary to have 6600GT listed instead of Go6600? Thanx again for your patience and help with this. Cheers, Neil :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm sure you had the go6600 up the top there :) Anyway here is another INF where I added both 6600GT's (desktop) Enjoy nv4_disp.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Ok, Tried installing the drivers using the installer, it skipped half the install again and was still looking for drivers after the re-boot. So I tried using the "have disk" method but when 6600GT was selected from the list (well it was the only one to choose) I got an error message saying "a section in the inf could not be found". I'm not sure if anything further can be done, I sure appreciate the help you've given. Cheers, Neil :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Right, this time no tweaks original INF with just your GPU's added. Give this a try, we'll get there eventually :) nv4_disp.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Cool thanx, Will give this a go later this arvo, Let ya know how it goes. Cheers, Neil :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Sorry m8, No go, same error "the required section in the inf could not be found" Cheers, Neil :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 This is probably the driver can't recognise your GPU. It should have worked as I just added the lines for your GPU. What you could try doing is forcing the installer to install as a go5200. This won't do anything nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buk_Nekkid Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 ............What you could try doing is forcing the installer to install as a go5200.This won't do anything nasty. Ok, The only gpu listed is the 6600GT. How do I force the installer to install as a go5200? and which INF should I use to do this?

mobilenvidia Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 You won't be able to run setup. Use the original INF You'll need to do a driver update install (seehere) Now when you get to step 11 unclick 'show compatable hardware' and select GF5200. Install and your away. If this doesn't work then nothing will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
