Vidio driver problems
 

Just installed a new nvidia 7950gt with a fresh install of xp pro sp2. Tried to install the latest forceware drivers and get an error saying " The nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit" The card is recognized in the device manager and in display properties. It will only load the drivers off the disk it came with and no others. Their at least 2 or 3 versions old. I even tried older drivers with the same results. All other drivers on the machine are up to date. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, try removing any other drivers for your card first and then use the latest ones. This is sometimes a necessity with nVidia.

This is on a fresh install of xp . No other drivers were installed. Tried others after and always got the same error.
