nvidia vista drivers don't detect hardware

Posted: 02-08-2007, 12:05 AM
I have A Geforce FX5500 video card and when I try to install the drivers for
vista it says something like setup cannot find any drivers compatible with
your current hardware.

I might be wrong but I think they have pulled support for that said card.

The card is in their vista compatible list so they should have vista drivers
for it you'd think.

While it was supported during the vista beta period they've pulled support
for geforce5 cards on RTM, just like they did for nforce2 & 3 mobos.

Do you by chance know what other cards they pulled support for in RTM?

The geoforce 5 cards are supported in the RTM DVD driver release which was
96.86. If you are having trouble go back to that or to the 96.85 release
from the NVIDIA Website.
They have not stated why they are not supported in later Vista driver
releases and I would not be surprised if support returns since the users
installing the RTM release will have support .

The card is NOT supported by the latest drivers.

You need to go back to the 96.85 drivers
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvist...supported.html
or to the 96.86 drivers that are came on the RTM DVD.

9.6.8.5 works fine with an MSI 5200 (NVidia) here. It should be
available on the Net.

I have downloaded, what it seems, to be every since 'beta-working' driver out
there and none of which works with vista. Nvidia 7900 is what I have and the
versions i have download are: 88.61_forceware_vista_x86_international ,
97.46_forceware_winvista_x86_international_whql,
100.59_winvista_32bit_english. Along with: nvidia
geforcego-92.52-vista32-whql, 9754_vista64. Each say the same friggin' thing
about compatiblity.
