Updating Video Card Drivers

[spaceboots06]

Hi,

I'm trying to update my video card drivers on my 13" MBP. It seems as if I am getting a nv4_disp.dll error on the XP partition of my hard drive when I try to exit BF2. Could anyone suggest good graphics drivers to download? I tried Omega drivers but they said that my graphics card could not be recognized.

Thanks!

EDIT: Should I try this?

2x EDIT: I'm getting this error whether the NVidia drivers are installed or not. Similar error with the Omega drivers. What shall I do? This screen has the Boot Camp NVidia drivers installed, I've tried it with them uninstalled as well. Sorry for repeating myself but I want to get that point across. These are the drivers from the Apple link.

You could try the drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/. You also have to download the modded INF file for the equivalent driver to replace the original which will allow the driver to detect the Apple hardware.

Thanks! I'll give those a shot, I hope they work!!!

EDIT: This seems more confusing than I thought. How does this INF file stuff work?

im sure someone else can give you a better answer but i can tell you what i tried that works and i still do

at the laptopvideo2go site there is a forum thread for doxdrivers....these are the nvidia drivers optoed for gaming...or something

anyway the thing is they work right away the modded inf stuff is already organize for you and you dont have to select which card you have and all that stuff that was confusing for me coz of the 8800gs naming stuff

so if you dont get any better advice download the latest doxdrivers from the thread and they will or should install with no problem

they work great for me

Alright, thanks for the quick reply. I'll check that out, hopefully they work!

--- Do I need Vista/Win7 for Dox's drivers?

--- Scratch that, his most recent version doesn't support XP, but one he released on April 10th supports it. I'll give that a shot now.

Update

They installed fine but I keep on getting the "Found New Hardware" screen in trying to find the right drivers for the "coprocessor". I keep on saying do not ask me again but it keeps on asking me again. Ugh! Windows...

if may not be worth it but if you have read any of the doxdrivers forums you porbably saw dox is actually a pretty cool guy you could always post in the forums there and see if anyone has a workaround or suggestion

I got rid of the problem. Hey! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!!!

yay! no problem

its kinda frustrating that gives us bootcamp but basically everything else on windows on mac is a DIY situation sigh

I've got a MBP with the 9600. I've just installed Windows 7 RC and have no clue if I'm supposed to download drivers from the Nvidia website or whatever. What should I do?

Go to Nvidia's website for the latest drivers.
