Solve : Please help Nvidia drivers won't install?

Answer»

My Screen resolution on my computer screws up sometimes and i usually just REINSTALL invidia and it works again.

This time however i tried reinstalling them and it didn't work. So i went and uninstalled everything that was nvidia on the program list and restarted the computer.

Then when i went to install the nvidia drivers again it gave me an error message that said "The NVIDIA SETUP program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current HARDWARE. Setup will now exit"

I'm running windows vista 32bit and the nvidia disc i have is geforce 8300GS

Please any help WOULD be greatly apreciated. thanksYou mentioned the NVIDIA disk. Did you try downloading the specific driver for your card at the NVIDIA site?

hope it could help.. Better yet, you should download the driver from the card manufacturer's site. Quote from: quaxo on May 24, 2011, 12:59:17 PM

It means the best driver for a card is usually the one provided by the card manufacturer, not always the generic one from ATI or Nvidia. Quote from: quaxo on May 24, 2011, 01:11:50 PM

For the case of nVidia (& Realtek), the latest drivers are provided by the manufacturer of the chip, not the card manufacturer.  The drivers are not generic, but "all inclusive", for virtually every chip they ever made.
