A Windows Update which included a NVIDIA driver's day, now of video problems

A few days ago, I installed a driver NVIDIA update in the updates of windows.  Since then, I have had problems with the video screen goes blank.  Whenever I was forced to do a power cycle to recover. Several times.  After awhile, I had to reinstall Windows 7, no surprise.  But, even after this reinstall I still see video problems.  I used this machine for 8 years and never had a problem before this video.  Never.  It is a new problem that came with the installation of the update of the driver.  It seems that the NVIDIA installation has changed something that Windows 7 reinstall couldn't fix!  Looks like something in the video card or the BIOS.

I expect that any change in the inner workings of windows, including that the registry would be more written by Windows 7 reinstall.  This is a full installation.  Not a repair.  I tried a repair, but didn't work, so a complete installation.

The update of the included NVIDIA driver NVIDIA console could be appearing in the Panel.  This console configures the driver settings, without going through the windows interface.   What did do?  May have changed the firmware on the card?  May have changed the NIC of the OS?  Maybe something changed in the BIOS.  That was the case, the change persisted after reinstallation of Windows 7.  Yesterday, to installed the provided Comcast Norton security suite.  After the death of the first installation of the video.  I did an uninstall/reinstall and it seems ok at the moment.  Never had this problem before.  Initially, this machine has Windows XP and has been updated to Windows 7.  On both versions of the OS, I have installed security software and never no problem.  Not until this update of NVIDIA driver has been installed with the console software.

I have really no need for their new console super driver.  I'm not a player, just need to get my system back to a reliable State.

While searching for a solution on the internet, I'm a LOT see people with this problem.  It seems that this has been a matter of months.  Since I have this problem while performing a Microsoft provided update, Microsoft must weigh on this and get NVIDIA to present a real difficulty.

After having the same DELL machine for 8 years, I thought to be updated to a mini pc.   A shoe more small print on my desk.  But I'm very concerned about getting a machine with NVIDIA graphics.  Also, I now seem that one cannot assume the updates from Microsoft to be sure.

Of course, this seems to be a driver problem.  I don't know if the NVidia updates change firmware on the card.

If this computer is a variety of funds, and I presume that it is or it would not still be alive after 8 years, your best solution will be to go to the computer store and buy a low range graphics card that will fit in your PC.  Probable cost is less than $50.  Only problem is you need to know what type of video slot machine MB of your computer has.  The video card must adapt it.

If you tell us the brand / model of the PC, we are able to provide more help.

I should add that my PC is about 6 years old and has a NVidia video card.  I made the mistake of getting a new NVidia driver also.  He made a number of problems.  Finally, I solved it by uninstalling and removing all components of NVidia.  Then by restarting.  I remember not but either Windows installed the right driver or it has been updated for Windows installed.  No problem since.

nVidia is not really interested in visitors like us.  Their focus is on the players.  Accordingly, users like we end up with a software that is very different from what we actually need.

    during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

    When you install by creating media, allows to create a backup of a Virgin DVD USB or USB key installation files. (I recommend you do this in case you need to reinstall Windows 8 in the future).

    If you choose to not, Windows 8 will be a non-media from your hard drive installation automatically.

    Windows 8 simplifies the procurement process with an installer called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Web that makes it easy to download and create a local backup for future use. Digital distribution works this way, you download the installer, launch that and he will download Windows 8, the time it takes depends on the speed of your Internet connection ultimately. Microsoft noted that the Web Installer includes a sophisticated compression technology that downloads pieces in sections of 10 MB to ensure that its safe delivery. When you download the installer, the installer creates a folder called "WindowsESD" in the root of your drive C:\ (if you have multiple partitions that this case may be on another). From there, you will find a complete Windows disk image, you can burn it to a blank DVD and make your own physics, copy, or store it on a USB key.

  • Windows Update offering me a nvidia nforce network controller update, I want to know what has the update, how?

    I try to click on the more information of winqual.microsoft.com/support/? 20211126.it driver id always comes up with 404 page not found. I just want to know what the driver is offering or fixing. I have tried everywhere, someone has ideas how to get this info?

    The only way I know is to get this information from the manufacturing of the hardware device.  In this case go to the Web from Nvidia site and then go to the downloads section. You can then select the Nforce drivers such as pilot. After that, you will need to know which chipset your motherboard uses. Once you get all the information it will take you to the download page for the drivers. Normally they have the available release notes to see what changes have been made by the pilots. If you decide to update, I would use the Nvidia site instead of the one offered from windows update. After installing the nvidia windows update stops offering you the update.

  • Windows Update wants to make a driver update for my wireless 1505 dell minimap

    I have a dell inspiron 1720 with a dell 1505 wireless Mini PCI card.
    I've used rc1 Win7 32bits almost since release and had the same problem but blamed the rc1 status.

    I recently installed win7 ult 64 bit and the initial drivers automatically install for this card (version 4.176.75.21) released on 10/01/2008 work very well and I can connect to my router N to 270 MB/s.

    However, Windows Update wants to update the drivers of 5.30.21.0
    on this operation, it limits the connection to 54 Mbps

    After speaking with the support of dells, they claim that the 5.30.21.0 drivers are not intended for the mini-map 1505

    restore drivers allows me to connect again to 270 MB/s

    I'm pretty happy with it except for 2 things.

    1. I fear that other people with the same card be the victim of a bad update from microsoft.

    2 and my main concern is that I had a very hard to solve the problem with the 4.176.75.21 drivers when using the win7 RC 1.  My computer when making fashion 'sleep' declares that he is not stopped correctly and he was attributed to incorrect wifi drivers.

    It is extremely difficult to solve because it is not all the time.

    I'm just the eccentric? I have hard to find someone else with the same question. but that could come from several different reasons.

    any help would be appreciated.

    Live and learn. Experienced users only get updated driver required/need to download pages for the device manufacturer or the computer, never update Windows.

    To avoid the download and/or installation of driver updates, you need to configure automatic updates to the updates but let me choose whether to download and install them . If & when there is an update, you don't want to download/install, disable the update then "hide".

  • Windows update and the eternal Saga Driver

    I have Win Vista Home Premium 64 - bit version. I also have a Samsung CLX-3175 Color Laser printer.

    Windows Update keeps reporting that an optional update for this printer is available, published on 29/04/2009.

    I made the following...

    The driver installed and checked again - Windows Update reports that's always ready to download
    The installed driver, restarted my computer and then checked.
    Looked at this forum and followed the instructions on renaming the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution - still does not work
    Contacted Samsung to see if there is anything that I should know - they passed me back here

    Any suggestions?

    Hi SkeE007,

    This problem may occur if you do not install the updates in the correct order. An old update does not install on a new update because newer versions of files are detected on the system. Therefore, the installation of the older update is unsuccessful; However, no NDR is sent to the Automatic Update component. Thus, the automatic update interprets this setup as a successful operation. Because the update has not been installed successfully, you continue to benefit from the update until the server still offers the update.

    Follow the steps mentioned below:

    Step 1: Rename the Catroot2 folder


    To rename the Catroot2 folder, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, type cmd in the Search box, right-click cmd.exe , and then click run as administrator.  At the command prompt, type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:

    net stop cryptsvc
    Ren C:\System32\Catroot2 oldcatroot2
    net start cryptsvc
    output

    {Delete all the following folder tmp*.cat files: C:\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}

    Step 2: Reregister DLL files that are associated with Cryptographic Services

    To register .dll files that are associated with Cryptographic Services, follow these steps:
    Click Start, type cmd in the Search box, right-click cmd.exe , and then click run as administrator.
    At the command prompt, type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:

    regsvr32 /u softpub.dll
    regsvr32 /u wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 /u initpki.dll
    regsvr32 /u dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 /u rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 /u gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /u sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 /u slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /u mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 /u cryptdlg.dll
    output

    Note If you are prompted, click OK .

    Click Start, type cmd in the Search box, right-click cmd.exe , and then click run as administrator.
    At the command prompt, type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:

    regsvr32 softpub.dll
    regsvr32 wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 initpki.dll
    regsvr32 dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
    output

    Restart the computer.

    Step 3: Hide the update

    Since the update dates back to April, you can simply right click on the update and select hide update and it will not appear on the list the next time that you use the update service. We have hidden the update because it is very possible that you would have received the latest version of this update that is already installed on the computer.

    I hope that helps!

  • Windows 8.1 hangs in Windows Update, trying to get the driver

    (I posted this query on another Forum HP. A person named Waterboy71 who claims to be working "on behalf of" HP suggested that I post here for a wider exposure.) We have added a Surface Pro 3 64 bit 8.1 running win to our home network.  Our Office XP WHAT features of an HP LaserJet 1200 printer is connected via USB and it is shared. Our laptop running XP has no problem to the 1200 LaseJet impression. On the Surface when you try to add the printer Win 8.1 concludes the LaserJet 1200 and calls Windows Update, probably to download a 64-bit printer driver. Windows Update crashes, it is short and does not stop. We have let it run for about an hour before the end of. I looked on the HP site for the drivers and it seems to imply that Windows Update is the right way to get the driver, that we need. Is there another way to do this? Or y at - it a way to get the update can I work correctly?

    Here's what works in windows 7 and will probably work in windows 8. You need to load the printer on windows 8 machine as a local printer by saying it is connected to the lpt1 port and disable auto-detection. Just follow the prompts and when you get to the page of manufacturers choose hp on the left, then the lj1200 or universal pcl printer driver on the right. Finish the load and do not print a test page. Now, you will need to know the name of the computer that the printer is connected and it will also need the name of the share allocated to the printer on this computer. For these instructions I will use the name of the computer as xpmachine and the sharehane as lj1200. You will replace your real names. Now right click on the printer icon in devices and printers, then highlight the first properties and left click. Now, click ports, and then add the port. In the box that appears, type the following: \\xpmachine\lj1200 where you will replace your names. Save and apply and you will now be able to print to the printer.
