but now ive been trying on vista 64, using intels chipset driver installation utility version of drivers is 8.3.1.1009 .
ive downloaded two sets of these drivers so there not corrupt .
the utility runs ok and it reboots and says "succes"
but then i check in device manager and the old drivers are still there?
its like vista refuses to update any drivers? i noticed this with other drivers , i try to manually update drivers and it says windows couldnt find a better match than the driver already installed? i mean wtf? its obvious device oem drivers will be superior!
anyone know how to get around this ?
second issue is vista is taking a really long time to shutdown. it started a while back after an update . now it just takes ages its ridiculas how long it takes.
anyone know why?
any replies will be much appreciated.
I know a little about the procedure. You have to remove the old driver and chip set, which you know. You might try the NVIDIA website, they can't actually give you your new drivers but they do have an automated lab. They can scan your computer for free and recommend the best or latest Vista drivers available. r
