Nvidia 64 bit display driver is removed on restart

Hi I'm new to the forum as you can tell by my post count. I'm having a annoying problem with the display driver I installed...

My Nvidia display driver for my GeForce 9300 seems to install successfully, but when it asks me to restart the computer for the changes to be saved, I reboot it and the changes are gone. It's back to a 32bit version. The funny thing is the original windows display drivers were working fine before, so I guess I could always restore my system but I have a feeling that the Nvidia drivers when successfully loaded may perform better on harder tasks.

The full name of the installer is: 185.81 geforce_win7_64bit_english

I downloaded the driver myself and the chipset...when installing it says it deletes the old Windows 7 driver. I think the chipset is installed properly but the driver isn't (XD unless they're both the same thing, I don't know).

Anyone have any ideas on what I should do. I might try reinstalling the chipset and then the driver again. If it doesn't work I guess I'll have to convert back to the windows 7 display driver, which was working quite well.

 

Its pretty clean but my desktop background and icons are too bright I can tell it's trying to compensate for missing colors.

I just logged in after restarting it for the 5th time. There was a message say the the NVCPL.DLL had a missing something. I think it was some loader at the start up...

Anyway I'll go check the link Pete gave me, that might help.

 

Hi - I suggest, and only requires a little of your time, to run a manual Windows update and then check the 'custom" list - a better driver might be listed there
(that is where I found a required nvidia chipset related driver for a socket 939 system)
failing any pertinent driver found there , I suggest PeteC's suggestion

 

Hi Tigerbright,
I would be grateful if you could give me a link to that nVidia chipset. I have another topic running on this board about hardware problems in Window 7)
I have an Asus socket 939 mobo but no nVidia chipset updates have shown up on Windows Update for it. I presume that by 'Custom' you mean 'Optional'?
I have managed to install the latest nVidia chipset drivers for Vista - no improvement.

to r.leale : my socket 939 was a gigabyte model GA-K8N51GMF-9, which I ran using an pci-e 1x SATA raid host bus adapter card at one extreme and at one time a pci 4MB video card at the other extreme - using Windows 7 RC - so I tend the believe that almost any device implementation is possible using this os version.
Anyhow I shall reply to your issues in your thread
btw - yes , i meant optional , i am now back using XP sp3 on a Dell desktop due to circumstances so used that os version terminology
I am surprised MS has not sent an updated driver for your model mainboard
