a video driver update

What is the procedure to update a video driver, how I would do it

Hi LauraKiblinger,

There are two ways to update the driver of the video card in the computer.

  • Windows update can automatically update the video card driver.
  • Download and install the updated drivers from manually video card manufacturer's website.

  • When playing a DVD error: "unable to display analog protection, video driver update."

    Original title:

    How to upgrade video driver.  get the message when I load the new dvd saying that analog protection cannot be displayed, updated video drver.

    I have only this message each time to time on dvd again.  Most of them play without problem.  You want to solve the problem because I don't know if there is a codec problem or I need a video upgrade.

    Hello

    Thanks for visiting and Microsoft Community to answer your concerns about giving!

    When you try to play DVDs, you get the error "saying that analog protection cannot be displayed, update the video driver".

    Quick questions:

    1. What program you're using to play the DVD? (Windows media Player, Windows Media Center, etc.)
    2. What is the full error message?

    The error message "cannot play the DVD because it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output screen protection', you may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    * Your DVD decoding software must be configured. If you have another DVD player program installed on your computer, read the DVD using this program and then try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player.

    * There is a problem with your video card configuration. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the error is not resolved, you may need to install a driver available for your video card.

    To determine if there is a newer driver for your video card, perform one of the following:

    o open Windows Update by clicking Start and then all programs.

    Check for any updated driver for your video card. If found, try updating the video drivers.

    o visit your computer or video card manufacturer's Web site.

    See the Microsoft article below for more information on updating drivers: update drivers: recommended links

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-drivers-recommended-links

    For your information:

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

    For more source on Codec, please see the following link:

    Codecs: Frequently asked questions

  • more recent good video driver updates for M4600 with ATI M5950 video card

    My hard drive has failed recently and I had to reinstall from scratch. I used it for a few months now without other problems.

    Currently, I am having a problem where a program (formZ) modeling in 3d displays wired but no polys in its modes of rendering opengl. I had this problem in July 2014 and it is resolved by updating my drivers which was available on the website of dell at this time. I have also some odd polys displaced and shadow flicker in sketchup which I didn't have before.

    According to me, it's my drivers, but the most recent driver available for the m5950 on the m4600 has 'changed' in October 2013 and when I install it, the problem is not resolved.

    Someone at - it a newer driver that 8.850.7.8000 (as of 12/19/2011)?

    Well yes that suits him.

    Although not quite, the link that you sent me was for certifications of driver for specific programs and some video cards, not including mine. However, I could find what I needed on the site of AMD:

  • Video driver update for NVidia GeForce GTX 660 M on Alienware M17x R4

    I am owner of Alienware M17x R4 with GeForce 660 M graphics. The latest drivers for my system currently 307.17 on the Support of Dell Web site version. Recently I met some graphical problems during the game and the people from the Steam forums advised me to update my video drivers.

    So the question is: can I use the video drivers supplied by NVidia on their Web site? Are there disadvantages using these?

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    We recommend that you use the drivers from the Dell Support Web site, but if you want to upgrade to the latest NVIDIA driver I suggest you only do a fresh install of the driver as explained here.

    If you continue to experience problems during the game, try the troubleshooting steps in this article.

    1. check with Nvidia Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in their forums
    on known problems. Update the driver. If there is no newer versions, it may be necessary
    to return to a more stable version.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (video/driver update, BIOS, and)
    chipset drivers)

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it) and
    Then, get new ones manually if you wish.

  • Firefox Beta 23 crashed 5 times in the last hour since the update, twice with a BSOD of video driver failure. I can't understand another way to this post.

    FF was running fast and stable until the beta update tonight. Later he crashed several times, sometimes with a total system crash, sometimes with a system is unresponsive, sometimes with a video driver leading to a BSOD crash.

    I had to DL 22 release and restore. I am now on the output channel, not the beta channel.

    System Setup: Dell Latitude 6410, Win 7 x 64, 128 GB SSD, 4 GB of RAM, Intel video hardware. Everything is up-to-date.

    Trying to get out before it blocks again and then switching to 22.

    Java plugin is usually disabled.
    Toolbars are ABP, disconnection and download status bar.

    Update:

    Have been able to run > 4 hours stable release 22 without hardware acceleration and long-awaited performance. I identified that my Crucial necessary M4 SSD firmware updated because of a problem that causes the BSOD after 5000 operating hours. Since the firmware update has been applied, I was stable.

    Firefox may have been a catalyst, not a culprit. I wonder if my BSOD troubles began because FF or FF, as Flash module, was trying to make the disk space which had been rendered difficult by my bad SSD firmware.

    Will post again in 24 HR works normally on 22 and then try 23 update to see if it is resolved.

    Thank you all for the input. Hope my comments are useful somehow.

  • Toshiba will be updating video driver from Nvidia NVS 2100 M for Tecra S11?

    Toshiba will be updated driver Nvidia NVS 2100 M of S11?

    My S11 machine is almost 3 years old. In the first year there was a lot of update for the drivers, but last year 1 there is no update.

    Official website of nvidia, there is a driver download page, but if I install the last driver - no matter that one - I have several video driver related issue. So I downgrade to the Toshiba nvidia driver.
    I'll try this one
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/Quadro-notebook-WIN8-Win7-WinVista-64bit-310.90-WHQL-driver-all.html

    If nvidia or toshiba will update the video driver?

    To be honest I don t think that Toshiba will offer updates for older models of laptops.

    As you probably know Toshiba offers modified and tested the drivers so it will be interesting to know what kind of problems you have with the NVIDIA driver.

  • Pavilion dv7-6135dx screens on the video driver blue igdpmd64.sys after the platform update KB2670838

    Windows Update has delivered platform update KB2670838 Feb. 27.

    After that, any time I open Internet Explorer, I get a blue screen of death which calls igdpmd64.sys, which is part of the video driver.

    I tried to install the latest video driver HP site was for this machine, even though it is dated as a couple of years.  But he says that I don't have the minimum requirements.   !!??

    I tried a restore point before and everything was fine.

    I let go of the front through the platform Windows Update again and the same problem.

    Now today I have no restore point so I can't go back.

    Because now I am simply not using IE, everything else works fine so far.

    Here are my questions...

    1. is this a known problem of someone else?  Is there an article on the best solution anywhere yet?

    2. suggested approaches to solve this?

    3. How can I get the alternative video drivers to try?

    3A. HP Site latest since this laptop says that it does not meet the min requirements!

    3B. should I even try the following more old?

    3 c. pros and cons of try the drivers of Intel or ATI sites instead of on HP site

    4. If after testing things, if I wanted to reinstall my current driver, how 'save', or protect some how now?  (I think THAT it is the original of the 2011 original installation schedule)

    5. How can I do to reinstall the video driver as 'supplied with the machine', for example since the recovery D: partition?

    6. If I end up having to reinstall Windows, how to do that since the recovery partition?

    Hey cfravel,

    All major issues! Sorry to hear that you use in the blue screens, but you did a good job of troubleshooting. I'll answer the questions in the order that you asked them.

    1 and 2.  Here is a link to the Microsoft Forumwhere there was a similar question. It looks like uninstalling and hiding the implementation update will correct the problem. To uninstall an update,

    • Click Start
    • Program 'type '.
    • Click on programs and features
    • Click View Installed Updates (left)
    • Search for KB2670838.
    • Select this option and click on uninstall.

    To hide the update,

    • Click Start
    • Type "update".
    • Click on Windows Update
    • Click Find updates
    • Click "# important updates available"
    • Search for KB2670838
    • Right-click on it and click on hide (you can always restore hidden updates in the future if you want by clicking on "restore hidden updates" from the main screen of Windows Update.

    3. here is the correct driver for your laptop HP Special Page. I think you're probably already doing it correctly, but just in case. How many times have you tried this driver? Try a couple of times.

    3B. Yes you could certainly try the next previous driver.

    3 c. the drivers coming from Intel or ATI are almost the same driver in most cases. We invite you to try them because they can always be uninstalled. Just, they are not guaranteed to work properly for your specific model.

    4. There are two versions of the driver for your ATI video chip. These and all future versions will still be available on your driver page. Click on the link under the latest driver that says "available versions" for a complete list of all the versions that are never released.

    5. to reinstall the driver of origin or any other original software that is preinstalled on your laptop, you can use HP Recovery Manager.

    • Click Start
    • Type "HP recovery".
    • Click HP Recovery Manager
    • Click re - install the drivers and software.
    • Scroll through the list and select drivers or software to install. These drivers will still be available on your page of driver as well.

    6 here is a link on how to reinstall Windows from the recovery partition. In the links in blue at the top, click on "Recovering from the start (in the system startup) screen". This is a very simple process.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions helped (it could help others with similar issues). I'll keep an eye out for your answer!

  • Video driver not updated to the latest version... Troubleshooting help please...

    Hello and good day, group... We have here a few CQ4010F desktop computers. I pushed recently updated Windows and a PC (1PWC) now has a video driver to version less about that. The PC I compare (0SDQ) is great for video with full 1920 x 1080 is available and Acer E211H monitor display. For PC with the issue, the resolution will not be max (stuck @ 1600) and the screen credits. The goal is to get (1PWC) to the full resolution and correct monitor please.

    Here are the specs for the two because both machines are the same for the Prod #:

    Models: CQ4010F, ABA-Prod #NY650AA, stock video NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, stock charge RAM 4 GB, 64-bit, SP1 Win7 (after windows updates)...

    I compared the pilots, and they do not match when comparing machines:

    -(1PWC); NVIDIA, on 14/05/2009, version 8.15.11.8593, signed MS Windows

    -(0SDQ); NVIDIA, 01/04/2010 (new date), version 8.17.11.9739 (latest version), have signed MS Windows HW compatibility Publisher<--- want="" please!!!="">

    I can not get the most recent driver to load on the PC with the question. I pushed for troubleshooting updates driver Windows on (1PWC) several times. All say that the driver is updated? I did a driver update... process also with the reporting of the pilot system is running when it is not.  I went to the site of NVidia and NVidia driver downloads tell me that the correct driver is installed, when it is not. Interesting java Nvidia GPU playback tool said unknown to the GPU video about the PC card product? The 'good' PC reports the right product analysis offshore GPU and offers even update a more current Nvidia driver. I as well before it is rip out together video driver and loads a basic 640 x 480 driver, then start in safe mode and reload the driver proper. But I don't know if I did the steps correct basic video driver load correction method.

    Hope it was not too verbose. I am running "on this feedback rabbit hole an and any circular or troubleshooting tips would be great. Be advised that it is the PC with the southbridge NVIDIA North/South wobbly mobo that also has problems of USB.

    Thank you-

    /WF

    Hello GPS-Tech,

    Because the tool indicates the video card as being unknown, that it does not find a driver to update because he does not know what to look for, as well as update microsoft assumes that the driver is up to date because it has no idea of this driver to get.

    Your best option is to manually install the driver by accessing the site Web of NVIDIA manually by lifting the video card and the driver installation.

    I think it's the right driver

  • Having a hard time updating video driver.

    Hi all!

    So, I've been doing reviews of various games that I play my graphics/video driver is outdated and needs an upgrade. I pushed a little this turned off until I could not really play a game that I wanted to because my graphics driver was not able to support it properly. (the game would work, but "read memory" errors would regularly jump upwards)

    So my computer (a Dell Inspiron with Windows 8 (64-bit) and an Intel Core i5 vPro processor) currently has an Intel HD Graphics card 2500, and when I went on their site and contacted the support for some assistance, they recommended an Iris Intel HD Graphics (v.  15.33.14.64.3412) to replace. When I tried to upgrade my current processor (whose version is 9.17.10.2849), he said that the current driver, I had was to update, even if everything else was telling me it was not. To work around this problem, I contacted the person suggested I have uninstall then reinstall (which I did), but the old driver reappeared in its place when I downloaded it (manually in a zip file). After that, I tried to uninstall from a different place (Control Panel, I think), and despite my best efforts, the old processor kept returning. The person has recommended that, because it seemed that my computer was rejecting their driver, I go on the manufacturer's site and see whether there are upgrades.

    What brought me here. I found the recommended drivers, but Intel one seems to be an older version (8 something), but there was an Nvidia card, I thought I'd try to download to see if it helped at all. I tried to download it, but I kept getting an error message which I think was something about not being able to find the appropriate driver tech (I could be wrong, but something she was doing so he could not find a place to install to, I think). So, I'm pretty stuck. My driver obviously needs an update, but I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

    Thank you very much!

    I'm a bit confused with all of this.  Graphics Intel HD 2500 is integrated in the i5 processor.  You should not try to update anything.  You cannot pass your processor unless you physically remove your motherboard and put another in his place.  Still, you shouldn't try to update the drivers of the CPU either.

    Apparently, you have not any dedicated Nvidia or AMD video card then you should not try to install the drivers for it.  2500 HD is not intended to play all games requiring high-end graphics power where you would need a dedicated card.  If you have any questions, play a game as described, then you just buy a video card and install it on your system.

    If you have the Inspiron 660, I would suggest a 7750 HD or a GTX 750 for the games.  They will both work on your power of 300 watts.
