Can't install drivers, please help.
Hi,
I tried to update my graphics driver, so I visited the nvidia website, specified graphics hardware (GeForce 8200M G (Notebook)) and downloaded the correct driver. When I tried to install, the installer told me that the driver is not compatible with my version of windows (Vista Home Premium 64-bit) and that no graphics hardware was detected. I went online to search for a solution and various forums, including nvidia, said that I need to uninstall the old driver first. Since that's what I have to do on my Linux computers it didn't seem strange. So, I uninstalled the old drivers and tried to install the new drivers but I keep getting the same message. I now tried three drivers. Version 310.90 64-bit, 307.83 64- bit and 307.83 32-bit. To make matters worse I'm unable to install windows' generic driver. I receive a message stating that a driver was found but a file is missing. I'm now stuck without a graphics driver. What do I do? The computer is a HP Compaq Presario CQ60. Thank you. |
