Update Windows for Vista - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver errors

Update Vista Home Basic 6002:SP2.  Secunia Personal Software Inspector and MS Security Essentials confirm the system software is updated.

Windows Update optional update for NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS on 4/5 and 4/11.  Updates have been declared as 'Successful' but has caused problems of compatibility with the resolution.  (http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20418057) More details below.

HW - Dell 530 with GeForce 8400 GS with BIOS 62.98.71.0.5 - 512 MB of memory dedicated - 767 MB shared memory.

CRT is detected as driver MS running generic PnP 6.0.6001.18000.  The display is an AMW CM1722PF 17 "CRT with a preferred resolution of the 1024x768x70Hz.  (IIRC, MS drivers for Intel 8031 correctly detected VGA display modes, rather than generic report.)

On both NVIDIA driver update attempts, Windows Update reports the success and I rebooted (despite the lack of obligation to restart).  Display was OK on the screen connection, but limited to 640 x 480 on desktop after login.  Edges of the Office had fallen.

In addition, Panel-> NVIDIA Control Panel translates "the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created... Possible reasons include the incorrect version.  Reinstall display drivers can fix this problem. »

After the failure of 4/5, I uninstalled Windows Update display drivers and reinstalled on reboot.  Got the NVIDIA Display Panel and appropriate video modes.  Everything was going well until we repeated this Windows Update NVIDIA driver update fiasco 4/11.

Have not repeated the manual Reinstall driver this time, I'm puzzled why Windows Update can't get this right.    This is a very common piece of hardware and you would think that there is regression tests for driver updates.

This makes me wary of Windows Update.  Suggestions?

Hello

I posted an incorrect link, changed now.

http://www.AddictiveTips.com/Windows-tips/disable-Windows-Update-device-driver-search-prompt/

The TechNet post link also has the same information.

Or here - manually on a single computer

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606 (WS.10) .aspx

Those who work in many cases, I've tried. If you have a current Windows
Update that tries to update a driver, then right-click on it in Windows
Updates and HIDE. There should be no other available.

I hope this helps.

  • Update Windows for Vista 32

    Windows Update does not work I get no Khvan my router but can connect to the internet

    If you still experience the problem of origin after all these steps, you can proceed with your plan to repair or formatting of your system. You will need Windows Setup DVD to repair. Once again, the steps proposed by Martin is composed with graphics, it should help in the realization of this task.

    However, if your goal is to make a new installation, you can either use the recovery partition on your system (usually drive D :) or the CD/DVD provided with your PC to install your PC back to factory settings. Depending on the brand of your PC, there are a combination of keys on your keyboard, you will need to press when your computer to restart to activate this recovery option. Also, using the Vista DVD of Installation, you can choose to do a new install instead of repairs. Just keep in mind, you need to reinstall some of the drivers for the devices on your system.

  • GJ120AA - NVidia GeForce 8400 GS 256 MB DH PCIe x 1 card

    I have recently upgraded to win 7 64 bit and currently have a GJ120AA - NVidia GeForce 8400 GS 256 MB DH PCIe x 1 card that I bought at HP, but I am not able to find a driver for it for XP or Windows 7.  Anyone know where I could get the driver for this product?  I have tried searching the Internet but couldn't find anything.  Here are the two links that I could find on the HP site, but they offer no support driver.

    I installed the driver that is available from nvidia, but it does not work properly.  I think that the reason is that the connector of the video card is not DVI or VGA, but rather a DMS-59 connector there (2) vga connections

  • EVGA Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS issues: [FIXED] screen and the sound does not [FIXED] virgins

    I have a HP Compaq dc5750 I just got an EVGA Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS, and I'm having a problem with it. I disassembled the computer cover and installed, replace the cover, turned on the computer and the monitor not power not on. So I decided that I had to disable the integrated graphics card (ATI Radeon Xpress 1150), then I added the card even once. Still happens... Monitor powers on without the new graphics card. My monitor is 8 years old and lacks a DVI port. I have to connect the monitor to the graphics card to make it work? I want just this card to work.

    UPDATE: white screen problem is fixed, but the sound does not (no audio installed device) even if the audio driver is installed

    Hello

    This kind of question is mainly caused by the sound card driver is not not compatible.  Contact the hardware manufacturer directly to confirm the driver is compatible or not.

    Test the issue with another pair of speakers or headphones, or you can plug the device of reading to another port to see the result.

    In the meantime, you can also see if the playback device is disabled. To do this, please check the following steps:

    1 Please, click Start-> Control Panel-> Sound.

    2. on the playback tab, right-click on the empty square and then click on "show disabled devices".

    3. check if your playback device is disabled. If so, right-click on it and click Activate.

    1. Please click Start, type services.msc and press ENTER.

    2. double-click on Windows Audio.

    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Then please click on "Stop" under "Status of Service" to stop the service.

    4. click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    Reinstall the audio device

    1. click on start, type Device Manager, click on Device Manager to open it.

    2. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

    3. right click on your audio device, and then click on uninstall.

    4. check "delete the driver for this device".

    5. click on OK.

    6. after that, restart the computer, the device and the driver must be reinstalled automatically.

    Please check if the problem can be solved now.

    If the problem persists, please install the latest driver of sound card on the manufacturer.

    I found the problem... once again: I had to go to the BIOS and enable Audio integrated. My audio integrated uses Realtek High Definition Audio instead of Nvidia High Definition Audio.

    Hello. I have this sony all-in-one desktop vgc-lt35e that has been malfuntioning. One day it was fine and then all of a sudden wouldn't boot at all, normal mode and safe mode, nothing is done. It only shows the sony vaio logo when you turn it on. Then some vertical lines followed of the word 'microsoft windows' Burgundy with the bar running. then the green dots everywhere in the screen then a white screen. It's using a gpu nvidia geforce 8400 m gt, which I've heard is to be replace for free on some laptops. mine is not a laptop and the model is not on those listed on the sony site but in my opinion, should also be repaired free of charge because of the defective part. I tried to use F10 to load the installation of the plant. It seems ok, but when it's time to restart to complete the installation, the same problem arise then. Please help sony, it's really frustrating, given the amount I paid for this desktop computer. What should I do?

  • HP m9040n - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - replace or upgrade?

    Video does not.   NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - replace or upgrade?  I want to edit the video with the Prime Minister of adobe.  What is recommended?  Not too expensive.

    Hello:

    Yes, it would be a better card, because it has a 128-bit memory interface.

    The specifications also include a 300W P/S, so this card should also work if your P/S is 300W.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-630/specifications

    I'd go for this one, as the recommendations of P/S for both cards are the same.

  • New Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS with OptiPlex 755

    Hello

    I have a form factor computer to desktop OptiPlex 755 with 3.0 ghz dual core processor, 1 gig ram and 280w of power. I recently bought a new video card because the integrated Intel video card could not support a new game I bought. The card is a PNY Verto with a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS chipset. I installed it in the PCI express card

    slot and turned on the computer while the monitor is connected to the new card and I had no video. I had to return the vedo on the on board to get to the CMOS memory (I think that's what it's called). I chose the onboard/card instead of the automatic selection option in the video section of the configuration of the system, but the system still does not recognize the new card. He used to see the same place on windows. I know that this new card says it requires a 300w power supply, but I heard that dell underestimates their power and is really much more that they are listed. Why my computer does not recognize the card?

    Oh sorry, you will need to obtain from another computer Windows Vista or your install disc (if you have one, these instructions are here).  I have just the zip and give you a complete file of fonts, but it's against the license (and technically to the United States law) for them to be distributed.

    Hello

    40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

    Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

    You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
