Installing Display Driver

I am attempting to install my nvidia display driver.

I downloaded the files and I follow the readme

Installation instructions
-------------------------
1. These drivers must be installed by a user with Windows 2000/XP Administrator
privileges. Please consult your system administrator or Microsoft
Windows 2000/XP User's Manual for more information on Administrator
privileges.

2. Start Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.

3. From the Start menu, select Settings.

4. Select Control Panel.

5. Select System.

6. Select Device Manager.

7. Under Display adapters, select the name of the NVIDIA adapter you have
installed. If you do not see a Display adapters option, or if your NVIDIA
adapter is not listed, under Other Devices, select Video Controller (VGA
Compatible).

What is in bold is what I have

8. Select the Driver tab.

9. Select Update Driver.

10. Select Next.

11. Select Next.

12. Verify that "Specify a location" has a check mark next to it. If it does
not, click in the box next to "Specify a location" to place a check mark
in the box. Select Next.

13. Enter the path to the NVIDIA drivers in the "Copy manufacturer's files
from:" dialog. Select OK.

Now this is what I do not get. Is this in the folder somewhere?

14. If you get a dialog box that states "A suitable driver for this device
is already installed.", click in the box next to "Install one of the
other drivers" to place a check mark in the box, then select Next.

Otherwise, select Next, then proceed to step 16.

15. Select the following driver from the list. NVIDIA RIVA TNT is used an
example; make sure to select your NVIDIA adapter from the list.

Description Provider Manufacturer Location
----------- -------- ------------ --------
NVIDIA RIVA TNT NVIDIA NVIDIA a:\nv4_disp.inf

Select Next.

16. Select Finish.

17. Select Close.

18. Windows 2000/XP will ask if you wish to restart the computer. Select Yes.

I put the location of the folder after I extracted it to my desktop and it says: CANNOT INSTALL HARDWARE - The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.

And whenever I attempt to run the NVIDIA Windows XP Setup, it comes up with this error:

The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.

Im going to re-download my windows vga driver from: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=3009&ost=xp#anchor_os

But has anyone got any suggestions to the problem?

 

Need help with Display Drivers

I downloaded my display driver and extracted the file to desktop. I go into the folder and go to: Display.

I run the setup.exe

I get this error message: The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will exit now.

These are other .exe files
- NvCplSetupInt
- PhysX_9.09.0428_SystemSoftware
- PDSetup
- nvudisp

When I go Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager

I have no Display Drivers

But in "Other Devices"

I have: Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

That is the link to the website where my drivers are. (Scroll to the bottom)

Can anyone help me?

 

I have fixed the problem, there was nothing wrong with the drivers or anything. My cousin told me I had a nVidia when I had an ACI.

I took a better look inside my computer and found out.

Thanks for your help anyway.
