This problem is cause of my windows XP ? right? Ok then i went to the shop and i let the haired man install the drivers . And he install them from the CD . But those were old drivers from 2012 so i decided to upgrade to the latest drivers . I download the geforce express which automaticly install the latest drivers . After i done that i had the same problem :

If you click on "Continue anyway", then of course the drivers will be installed, that's why you are clicking on "Continue . . ." (don't you get it?).

Don't use the driver CD as the drivers on that will already be out-of-date.

Download latest version from GeForce.

However, there is absolutely no need to keep updating drivers just for the sake of it.
leave a driver alone if it is working properly. That's my opinion, hasn't done me any harm.

I do know friends who are always obsessed with updating their drivers and guess what? They usually have problems with quite a few of them, then they have to roll back to the previous driver to fix the problem!

The guy in the shop simply clicked on "Continue anyway", which is all you need to do.

The warning message simply means that Microsoft hasn't tested that driver package, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with the drivers - - they won't cause your PC to go up in smoke!

I had to install several driver packages like that when I had XP - it's of no consequence, nothing to worry about.
I'm surprised the old man in the shop didn't explain (unless he's charging you every time he does it for you).

The fact is, Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to test all third-party drivers in order to make sure they didn't cause OS instability. However, as more & more drivers were released they snowballed & Microsoft was overwhelmed, they couldn't keep up. Hence we have some drivers that haven't been tested by them (and never will be now).

ok ! before i install the drivers form the CD if i clicked on "Continue anyway" they drivers won't be installed . So should i try now to install the latest drivers and if i click "Continue anyway" would they be installed ? And is it very important to install the latest drivers ?
And the most important . When i tried to install the latest drivers with geforce express i pressed "STOP Installation" and when i restart my PC there were no drivers in my computer ! Why ??
Thank ! :)

When you install a graphics driver, the installer program removes the existing driver first. So if you abort the process after that stage, there is no graphics driver installed - not even the old one. Why did you click on "Stop installation" anyway? Why would you do that?

I've gone as far as I can to address your original problem (which wasn't really a problem anyway), I really don't know how I can make it any simpler for you to understand.

Don't bother with a reply. I'm done. It's been way too much explaining over such a small issue.

Good luck!
