michaelkames Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I am just too little into this to find the answers myself on this forum, sorry in advance for the bother. Hope someone can give me guidance. As I assume (installed Pinnacle Studio 10, video-editting program, causing disrupted views) I need to update the drivers on my laptop, details as follows: HP/Compaq Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go64 it says it's currently running the driver version 7.2.3.0 which I managed to pick up from the HP website but hardly seems an up to date one as I found out from Nvidia a lot more recent ones are applicable. Have tried to specify which driver I need exactly but I really can not figure it out exactly do the lack of knowledge of all numbers,names and I dont know what else that is just "Chinese" to me (no offense btw...) Can someone please tell this newbie to this all (preferably with an URL-link) what is the latest driver update I might pick to make things work for me? thanks a lot for your support, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you already have a driver past the 70... you could upgrade to 84.25 which is the reference right now. It wont bring you new stuff since your GPU is from a past generation. Your issues with Studio could be that you dont have the latest DirectX runtime. BTW Pinnacle is nowhere near the Pantheon of the bug free programing. LOL I just saw the minimum requirements... your video card is OK but your soundcard seems below the limit. If it's the cause of your problem... send at Pinnacle headquaters a stockpile of french poodle crap in my name. DirectX 9 or higher compatible graphics card with 32 MB (ATI Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce 3 or higher with 128 MB recommended)DirectX 9 or higher compatible sound card (Creative Audigy or M-Audio recommended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0wl Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0179.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64M " It is in the list, you missed it. It is not important which one to install. When it is in the list, all Modded INFs support it. For example give 84.25 a try. You can find information about installation in the guide.

michaelkames Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) guys, can't thank you enough!!!...man, had sweaty hands through out the whole proces coz I am just not too familiar with these kinda things where you seem to be real cracks in the meantime!! Managed to download, extract and replace the INF-file for the 84.25 version which was recommended by you guys. And YEP, it seems to have a good result as Studio 10 by Pinnacle seems to work now! So it definately was a shortcoming in the driver that I had going! (oh and also installed that Direct X thing that was suggested (cant do any harm to update that as well I guess...tks for bringing that forward too!!) a BIIIIG THANK YOU AGAIN!!!..your guidance and time well appreciated!! best regards, Michael-84.25-Kames Edited May 12, 2006 by michaelkames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
