Solve : Video driver confusion?

Answer»

Hello Again!

I have a pair of nVidia 8800GTs in SLI in an A8N ASUS Premium mb.

When I run a DXDIAG, it shows that the driver is 181.20

I want to update the driver to 181.22.

However when I run that update, I get two RESULTS. The DXDIAG shows the driver to still be 181.20, while the Device Manager shows the driver to be 181.22 for both cards.

When I try to ACCESS the nVidia display panel, it tells me that can't be displayed because of a version mismatch.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks.Hi there

Sounds like the nVidea drivers aren't updating properly.

Try using this program here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)_d1655.html

And then reinstalling your newer drivers afterwards

KurtisThanks for the help.

I downloaded the software but when I ran it I got an error - think it was a memory glitch. But perhaps it helped anyway.

After that I ran an uninstall of nVidia display drivers. I then ran an INSTALL of the 181.22 version.

However when I booted up again no drivers were installed. So I WENT to Device Manager and installed each video card seperately from the directory that contained the 181.22 patch. That seemed to do it. Now I have 181.22 on both Device Manager and DXDIAG and I no longer get error messages regarding different versions.

Thanks for HELPING!You are very welcome
