Upgrading GFX drivers on Geforce FX 5600XT

**StAmAtIs** · April 4th, 2005, 13:58

I just downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers and tried to install but it doesnt work and it looks like its going to install OK but at the end is says parameter incorrect and I havnt had any other problems upgrading drivers in the past. This is really annoying me. And yes I have tried older gfx drivers and I did disable my anti-virus and i did uninstall the previous drivers before installing.

I have screenshots if it will help.

My brother gets this recently on his Geforce 3 and his TNT2, i think Nvidia are cutting down driver support these days, try downgrading the drivers, seemed to work for my brother

I already tried that and I even used the drivers on the CD that came with my GFX card but still the same problem. I think I'm gonna have to reformat and start from scratch again. Unless someone else can tell me another way of fixing the problem?

Uninstall the previous drivers, reboot in safe mode and install the new drivers from safe mode. It may work...

Did you try running setup.exe instead of installing via device manager, or does that fail as well?

Yeh I tried that as well and installed with no problem but when i restart the pc the found new hardware option still pops up down in the system tray. It's really frustrating because everything is running choppy and slow when it shouldn't.

Tried rolling back?

I've tried that but it says no driver files have been backed for this device.

like PsyMan (<---with capital "M") said, uninstall your current drivers, boot in SafeMoe and then install new drivers

I tried that but still the same result.
Is it because of Windows XP SP2 and shouldn't it say something lile Plug and Play device somewhere cuz I remember something like that last time I upgraded my drivers and that wasn't on Service Pack 2.
