[SOLVED] problem while installing NVIDIA display drivers

niranjnn01 · 09-12-2009, 08:39 PM

Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to install NVIDIA display driver.

"The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers which are compatible with your current hardware. setup will exit now."

My doubt is,
why is this setup searching for a driver?..shouldnt it be installing it ?

ALSO,

In the device manager, there is a Yellow Question mark for
"other devices"
-> Video Controller (VGA compatible).

- am i in the right direction by installing the NVIDIA display drivers?...
please tell me what is happening here... and point me in some direction.

THanks
Rakesh

Hi,
Are you sure you have the correct Nvidia Driver?

Are you sure you have a Nvidia Graphics card?

Can you post the complete specs of you computer.

Thank you bill, for your response..
I appreciate it.. :)
I recently downloaded the display driver from compaq presario website, and now the driver is installed.
