Vista - Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers

**fieseler** · 04-30-2009

The installer is different, it says it removes the temp driver folder (C:\nvidia) after installation, but it doesnt.

This version running fine for me so far.

185 have gone to final btw

Thanks, I could only find the link to download the drivers through the advanced driver search. Searching for them normally just leads you to 182.50 again.

Report back if it all goes well

OK I am back. After a 3 week business trip, I took out 2 Gb RAM and reformatted and reinstalled Vista and did all updates and SP1 and the original MoBo drivers and their newer updates and at the end installed latest WHQL certified Video driver (182.5). Everything running BUT as soon as I try to put Aero in I get BSOD and nvlddmkm.sys error. Even if I try and do a Windows experience score it fails with repeated nvlddmkm.sys failed and restarted.

What the heck is going on! I REALLY need to solve this problem, or it is an ATI card going in!

Well it turns out I had a major fault in my Video card! AT under 1 year old they have of course replaced that. They (shop I bought it from) also reported 'something funny' with one of the 2 Gb Mempry sticks )GSkill) so they have replaced that as well. What a frustrating 3 weeks and a few months before that. I learnt some lessons!

I also bought a new computer!

Nothing seems to be working for me. Updated the driver, but it only seems like it's gotten worse.

10 minutes of play time in Crysis: Warhead and it crashes.

Hi Sdutent......

please fill out your sys specs, so we can make better suggestions for your problems....

I did the best I could; it's in the system specs pull down. If something is missing that is vital, just let me know how I could find that.
Thanks!

vista 64, nvidia 295, i7, the last two driver updates frequently give me "can not find dll" errors. Also, after installing, when I use windows update, it asks to install the same nvidia driver again. Have tried from clean install from back ups etc. etc. and still the same problem. It is all working fine without finding the cpl dll but their must be something wrong. The love hate with vista continues. XP was never this error ridden from simple install for me.
