Hi,
First of all: I am asking in general about whether installing Motherboard chipest driver is valuable or not, and not asking about Navidia deriver, nor installing motherbaord chipest deriver on this old computer of mine:
The specs of my computer are: Desktop Computer(Intel P 3, 256 MB of RAM, and Nvidia Graphics Card with 128MB of RAM
My windows is Windows XP SP1(32Bit).
These are Nvidai Display derivers:
175.19- http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/5753/en-us
175.16 - http://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/driverResults.aspx/5130/en-uk
169.21 - http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/3261/en-us
163.75 - http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/1982/en-us
93.71 - http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/5/en-us
I was having a problem finding a suitable driver of my Nvidia Graphics Card, although all derivers was downloaded from the Nvidia website. Whenever installing a latest driver, of the Nvidia display , then rebooted my computer. Once my computer started again, I faced a popup message telling me 'my computre's screen resolultion, and colour depth are set to a very low level(4 bit).' Even I couldn't increase them at all since they are not avilable .
when clicking a right click on a blank area of my desktop and in the pop-up menu click "Properties"
- in the "Display Properties" window which appears, click the "Settings" tab
- report the value shown in the "Color Quality" box. I see it does not say it is using 32-bit color then that is the point of installing the graphics driver.
And I found this error below once clicking on 'settings tabe'
The currently selected graphics driver can not be used. It was written for a pervious version of windows, and it is no longer compatible with this version of windows. The system has been started using the default VGA driver'
As a result, I was told :Normally, motherboard chipset drivers are installed first, before other drivers. Even when there are no exclamation marks in Device Manager. This could be why the graphics driver has not installed properly.
- uninstall the nvidia driver and reboot.
- install the via 4-in-1 driver linked to above and reboot
- install the nvidia driver once more and reboot..
So, I uinsalled the nvidia driver and reboot, and have installed motherboard_driver_chipset_via_4in1433v
http://download1.gigabyte.asia/Files/Driver/motherboard_driver_chipset_via_4in1433v.exe
But, I didn't see any new entires or updates added in the device manager at all.
Then, I reinstaled the Nvidia drivers V 175.16, and 175.19. However, However, 175.16, and 175.19 didn't define well my Nvidia Graphics card, although I installing the motherboard chipest deriver. What solved my problem is NOT installing motherboard chiest driver. However, what solved my problem is installing an earlier Nvidai deriver, which is 93.71 -http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/5/en-us
Thus, my questions are:
First: Should I install motherboard chipset drivers even if I don't find any new entries in the device manager after installing motherboard chipset driver?
Finally: IS it normal any installation of motherboard chipset driver doesn't make any changes noticeable in the device manager
