DVD drive did not install but a floppy drive did (I don't have one)

What is the proper way to install intel Chipset Device Software? - AnandTech Forums should work on nvidia drivers also

extract it for winrar example


1) If the file you downloaded is just 1 file (Setup.exe) then copy that files to your C: partition

or

If the file you downloaded is like a zipped archive, then extract what is in it and put all the files in C: in one folder called Chip also

The reason I use chip is just for the ease of use in the next step

2) Press the START MENU button > All Programs > Accessories > then right click on Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator


3) In the Command Prompt, type:


- cd\ to back to the ROOT of c:
- cd chip to go into the folder Chip
- setup.exe -overall -overide then hit ENTER

I still can't find an updated MB chipset driver. I have found the old Win 7 64bit driver and nothing more up to date. The Microsoft Update Catalog does not seem to find anything.

NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.56WHQL try those better than nothing

What you can do is:

1. Download the nForce drivers for Windows 7
2. Extract the nForce drivers for Windows 7 to a folder with 7zip.
3. Do a driver update on the Coprocessor object in the Device Manager.
4. Browse to the folder you extracted the nForce drivers for Windows 7 at.
5. Choose the driver in the SMU folder.

This worked on a Windows 8.1 system with the nForce 730a chipset.

Thanks venla, I just tried that about 2 minutes ago, it made no difference that I could see.

ahh ok

This may not be convenient at this time, but...

Did you have a working Windows 7 installation? Can you restore it?

Installing 10166 as an update over 7 may give a better result. (Haven't tried it, just guessing.)

No I was running Linux so I redid the partition and started Win 10 from scratch. No version of Windows to fall back on.
