yea same thing says not compatible with current hardware

**BCCOMP** · 11-04-2009, 10:07 PM

Not giving up yet
Have you tried to install the driver through the Device Manager?
Seeing this is a Desktop use this driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_191.07_whql.html

Extract the driver to a folder:
Go to the Device Manager
Right click on the error>Update
Select: No, not this time
Select: Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
Select: Include this location in the search
Select Browse and browse to the folder you extracted the driver to.
XP may install the driver.

lol im so dumb sorry that took so long i didn't know there were new posts on a page 2

...but i tried to put the driver into a folder and try to update like u said but when i click on folder on desktop i can't press ok for some reason

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 03:57 PM

oh yea i found this while i was aimlessly going trough my computer files its for sound video and game controllers.... well here I'll just attach a screen shot
i went to "don't search. I'll will choose the driver to install" from device manager.

**spike2me** · 11-05-2009, 04:00 PM

You don't right click on the Folder on the Desktop. Once you have files in the folder open it up. is there a Setup.exe file in their? If so just double click it. If not, then go back to the Device Manager. Right click the hardware device with the yellow mark and choose Update Driver. Select: No, not this time
Select: Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
Select: Include this location in the search
Select Browse and browse to the folder you extracted the driver to. (Desktop)
XP may install the driver.

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 04:05 PM

yea thats what i meant to say, i mean i followed all that but it wont let me click ok

**spike2me** · 11-05-2009, 04:08 PM

You have to be clear, what step does not let you click OK. Walk me through it step by step what your doing.

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 04:13 PM

at the browse part when i scroll down to get to the folder i created with the driver in it i click the folder and then the ok button is disabled

**spike2me** · 11-05-2009, 04:24 PM

you have to open the folder and point it to the .ini file. If there isn't an .ini file then you have a Setup.exe file in the folder or a Zip file that has to be clicked on to run before it unzips the drivers to your C: drive.

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 04:49 PM

ok i have just one thing in the folder that's the exe file but there is no set up there =\

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 05:03 PM

not sure if this is what u meant or not but it says...Type of file: Application
sorry i dont know to much about this

**spike2me** · 11-05-2009, 05:25 PM

Ok then double click the .exe file and that will install the driver.

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 05:27 PM

serenity now!!!

psilocybe420 · 11-05-2009, 05:31 PM

well it goes to the nvidia set up thing and then just says there is no drivers compatible with your current hard drive...i think i give up, thx for your help though i appreciate it

**spike2me** · 11-05-2009, 05:39 PM

It means you downloaded the wrong driver for your video card, not your hard drive. Try downloading the right one.

psilocybe420 · 11-07-2009, 11:25 AM

not solved lol, but probably can't be

**BCCOMP** · 11-13-2009, 11:23 PM

As stated prior the code you are getting for this card is for a notebook, but you have a desktop. Either the card is faulty or something is corrupted in the OS.

Is this a legit XP install with keycode?
