New nForce Drivers wont install
New nForce Drivers wont install
Hi everyone, I'm having a wierd problem.
I'm trying to install nVidias latest nforce drivers (4.27), however, after the part where I specify where to put the new files, the installer just dies. No crash error, no locking, it just vanishes. I go to the control panel to see if its made any changes, but none are apparent.
Any idea why these drivers apparently wont install? Or do I get to wait until their next nforce release?

hehe, if you haven't figured it out, we do it on purpose..
Anyway, you know the driver pack starts out installing by extracting itself to the c:\nvidia folder. Maybe the driver pack is doing that, but not starting the actual install process. Go in there and you will see the folder for the video drivers for your card, and another folder for the nforce drivers. Look for the setup and start it manually see if that helps.
vander ;P

Then nuke your machine and stop bothering us! I bet you even downloaded the file more than once and still it will not install! you have all the answers!
But heh, by any chance did you happen to read the note at the top of the 4.27 download page??

If you have previously downloaded the 4.24 English kit, there is no need to download this English kit below since it is the same drivers as in 4.24.

Safe mode idea didnt work, the installer did the same thing as in normal, so I went the do it yourself route and updated as many drivers as I could manually. I am really digging these ATA Drivers, noticeable performance difference on my 120G ATA133 drive already. I do wish I could get the complete package installed, supposedly theres some more control programs in the thing. I tried manually installing a few of them but no joy. Oh well.
