[suspenz]

It wont let me d/l nothing just keeps telling "no software found compatible" er something like that. I can't find the CD for my gpu..(Nvidia:Gefore 6200 OC) yes i know its an agp and its slow but besides how do i go about getting this software so than i can update the driver since i unable to do that also... help please!

you have to go to nvidia's site to download the drivers

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp


is your card listed here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/94.24_winxp_32_supported.html

if yes then here is your drivers:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/license/location_0605.asp?url=http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/94.24/94.24_forceware_winxp_english_whql.exe


if we have the right drivers then let me know and I will let you know the rest

no clue but you unpacked that driver then pointed your graphic card to it for drivers?

hmm ...er...can you let me know what your talking about...ive always been into comps but i just recently got into building one...so i would want to know what you mean exactly...lol...im a noob ..my bad..

OK after you download the drivers you install them some where on your PC but that is not the end, next you will need to go to device manager and point your graphic card to the folder where you installed the drivers so it can update them

my bad but i cant find the device manager...where is it at?

 

[edklite]

no its my fault I should have stated

right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager

or

right click my computer>manange>device manager


once in device manager look for your graphic card, right click it and then choose update driver,

you will now see hardware update wizard

choose these options:

no not this time and hit next

install from a list of specific location (advanced) and hit next

Don't search, I will choose the drivers to install and hit next

have disk and now use "browse" to navigate to the folder where you installed the drivers

Shouldn't be any extra steps to installing nVidia's drivers... the software should do it automatically when it's run.

if it installed itself then forget my post
