Nvidia Drivers Fix 1.5 for 8 Series Cards

[Defiance]

If some people don't want to do the above

If you post back i'll upload the specific OS driver

But i've tried to explain easily and it's not hard to do (Trust Me lol)

These look and work solid so far in my Vista x64 setup

Bit of info

They were for the new very soon to released nvidia cards

With the modded .infs they support all the 4 major MS OS's

Hope that Helps

I don't say this often when it comes to computer stuff, but I don't get it:

(first tried installing directly from extracted "A" archive, without copy/paste steps)

1: Unrar/zip/7 "B" and find your OS .INF and copy it;
-- right click on archive > "extract here" > creates folder "B" > copied C:\...\B\XP 32\nv4_disp.inf

2: Now unrar/zip/7 "A" (this is XP x86 so if you want XP driver just use this);
-- right click on archive > "extract here" > creates folder "XP"

3: With your copied .INF for your OS go into "B" (don't you mean "A"/"XP", "B" is where I copied the .INF in the first place) and paste the copied .INF for your OS; -- C:\...\XP\ > right click, "paste" > "overwrite?", "yes" (files appear identical)

4: Either save the folder and call it what you like or rar it etc;
-- Moved the folder to C:\ (root) and renamed "NVIDIA" (like official installer)

5: So now you have a driver that will work in your OS
--

6: If not already got DL Drivesweeper n install it
-- got CCleaner, always worked, never any issues

7: Remove installed drivers on pc using windows/vista control panel etc
-- done

8: Reboot in safe mode (hit F8 like a banshee as you reboot pc)
-- done

9: When on desktop run Drivesweeper at least twice a 3rd time won't hurt
-- ran CCleaner, cleaned files + registry

10: Empty recycle bin if needed
-- done

11: Reboot as normal
-- done

12: Install your prepared drivers
-- Ran setup.exe from C:\NVIDIA. First I get an Asus splash, which worried me since I don't have anything Asus. Installer loaded as normal, clicked "next" and installer finished in under 1 second, claiming install succesfull and asks for reboot.

Did reboot; PC acts as if no display driver (sluggish scroll, limited choice of resolutions) and in device manager "display adapters" shows "video controller (vga compatible)" with yellow exclamation mark over icon

13: Enjoy SH 1.5
-- :rotfl:

To clarify

You did use drivesweeper at least twice (in x64 sometimes it catches stuff on 2nd pass)

Which OS are you running ??

Gonna swap over drivers now (if it's what i think it could be it's no biggy just a bit of searching and deleting)

I'm not too worried about the Asus screen, I know it's just a bitmap it loads as a splash, just startled me for a sec.

I'm using CCleaner instead of Driversweeper, been using it for a long time on several systems, never had any driver related issues whatsoever;

I cleaned files + registry 2x right after uninstalling everything Nvidia related, and again 2x after booting into "safe mode". Running XP 32-bit.

Seems like it's not actually installing anything. Switched back to 175.16 without problems, installer took a bit longer to install (5-6sec. instead of just 1sec.).

Hiya,

Will do a specific readme/howto for vista users asap

I'll have a go at it tonight to see if I can get this to work, and if I do maybe I can put together a readme/instruction set for XP users. Don't even worry about it anymore, I would never expect you to go through that much trouble for someone who doesn't need it that much.

After all, XP + SH4 1.5 works fine for most, it's just that I (and probably others) need those drivers because of issues in other games Nvidia promised to fix in this release. I'll report any findings back on this forum.

Best of luck.
