Re: CORRECTED RELEASE NOTES 9GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008 0

I have an interesting development. I have a 9600 GT (nVidia) board so I
d/l'd the driver. I first uninstalled my current video driver(s) from nVidia
and rebooted. I got the black screen just before win/vist/ult booted (you
know, with the crawl at the bottom) and nothing happened! I couldn't get
into my Vista system. Thankfully I had a mirror image that I created this AM
so I redeployed it and repeated the above but I couldn't get Vista to run
(boot to desktop) after uninstalling my current nVidia drivers. I tried to
do this in safe mode but got the same results. Any ideas?

Re: CORRECTED RELEASE NOTES 9GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008 0

I suggest that you boot into safe mode and try and install the drivers from
there.
AFAIK you no longer need to uninstall older NVIDIA drivers when installing
new ones. I have not installed any for the last year or twos upgrades.
Following is the link to the full set of release notes which is a lot more
comprehensive then the release highlights contained in Bears post.

Re: CORRECTED RELEASE NOTES 9GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008 0

That is correct. nVidia drivers do not require uninstallation by the user
when updating.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

Yep, when I look up the driver for Product Series 7 I get the old December
driver, but if you look at series 8 or 9 you get the May 13th driver.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

Just tried to install and it said not for my system....weird. I def. got
the right version downloaded.
I have 7600GS on Vista x86 so it should be OK. Is it true that we no
longer need to uninstall the old driver?

Then select the option for Beta drivers so you can download the 175.16
drivers for your 7xxx card.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

I have a GeForce 7800 GTX, and yes, the site is still showing the 169.25
version.
But I downloaded the 175.16 version and installed it.
Works just fine.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

Same here, and so far no problems. I read that Nvidia is suggesting series
6 and 7 owners to use the December drivers even though the new driver should
work for the older cards.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

I also received the error using the NVidia setup program that the drivers
were not for my 7800GS. I got them to install anyway by going to the Display
Driver in Device Manager and pointing to the directory where the NVidia
setup program extracted the driver files.
 
Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

I tried that route and it gave the same problem in Vista. In XP they
installed OK but I had to rollback as the screen had a "washed-out" look.
I'll stick with the tried and true December drivers.

The new NVIDIA drivers have more ability for you to set color and related
settings then the older ones. Therefore you may need to evaluate all of the
different setting options now available in the new Nvidia control panel.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008


Nice drivers..... Too bad they don't offer 1920X1200 as a resolution for
my monitor. I went back to 175.63 beta drivers that DO offer 1920X1200.
Native resolution looks much better than 1680X1050 which is as high as
the 175.16's go.

Re: New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

Yes, I discovered that all I had to do was reduce the gamma. I still
cannot get them to install in Vista...weird, even fails when I replace the
inst.inf file..
There's a couple of ongoing discussions in the nvidia Geforce forum.
