So, I need your help to do it for me.
My laptop is Acer Aspire 4830TG with NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 2GB and the Hardware Id is PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF4&SUBSYS_05501025.

Email is [email protected]. Thank you in advance.

Hello there,

Wow, I don’t know a thing about programming, but wanted to let you know that I followed these steps for my Asus G53SW and it worked out great. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this tutorial, it made all the difference!

Best,

Kauê

I have been able to modify and install the latest driver 275.33 but i am not able to find Display and Stereoscopic 3D setup under nvidia control panel. Any one know how to solve this?

i am having problem with my display resolution.
i am using nivida gforce gt 240 with my acer monitor v223hq.
but display resolution is not ok. in screen resolution it says i am having generic non pnp monitor. i install all driver of nivida nad acer. they are up to date. bt still its not working. my screen resloution is fine with my laptop. so i guess there is some problem with my graphic card
please help me….
its been 4 days…
my pc was fine before ….but sudden this problem occur…either it is because of graphic card or driver…????

[email protected]…email me thanks

Worked like a charm for me (Asus K53SV, 275.33). Thank you very much for this guide!

Everything went fine untill i reached step 3, I cannot find my Hardware ID in display.Driver folder in any .inf file… So i’m stuck there, I have a Medion Akoya with a Nvidia 540GT hope u can help me thanks in advance

Thank you!!!! Worked great on DELL XPS L501X, saw immediate improvements in Crysis2. I did have to install the driver twice because I couldnt stop windows from reinstalling the older driver after the initial uninstall and restart, I fixed it by letting the Nvidia installer uninstall the previous version and that did it. Hey thanks again!

I have a ASUS X73S
Intel Core i7-2630QM
8GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

In the end when i try to install the latest drivers, it still gives me the “This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware”. my email is [email protected], if you could give me some help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi OP,

Thanks a lot for the thorough guide. I followed it to the letter, but still no success.
Could you upload the modded files for this Hardware ID: PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0DF4&SUBSYS_15F21043

We have a customer breathing in our necks, and your help will be vastly appreciated.

Thank you for the time.

Did the trick for me (Asus K73S).

Hi guys,
For the ppl that have the hardware ID PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0DF4&SUBSYS_15F21043 like me, i have modify nvam.inf file, http://www.mediafire.com/?qnuorqk8005grm3, and now it WORKS!
Hope to do something pleasant.

TY for the guide man.

Okay, I’m just looking for some clarification as this is my first time ever updating a driver. After doing all these steps and uninstalling the old driver, how exactly will I install this new one? I can’t use the Nvidia installer as I get the error, obviously. Will my computer recognize the new one upon start up and automatically install it? Sorry for the ignorance.

Hello, I have a problem. the graphics driver that i downloaded from my manufacturer’s website doesn’t have any driver folders in them when i extracted it. theres just this .data file, .RDATA file, and RSRC.1, TEXT and a plain old file. i don’t see any folders like display.driver

Hello. I have a Sony Vaio vpcl21me and I tried to install the new nvidia 275.33 drivers for the gt540M. I found an NVSZF.inf file in the old SONY drivers that comprises my hardware ID but I don’t know to which inf file in the new nvidia drivers I should copy it into. Any help will be gretly appreciated.

Hey. Its an awesome guide, but i cant make it work… :(
I use an Acer Aspire 5745G with GT 330M that i try to update to 275.33.
Hardware ID: PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0A29&SUBSYS_035B1025
I dont even know what to download from Acer’s site (I guess im a bit of a noob with computor)

Anyway thx in advance.

I cant find my hard ware ID PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_20471043 in the corresponding .inf file. I know i have the right driver folders extracted. G53SW ASUS is my the notebook im using. :( i just want up to date drivers

Hi i have tried this on a acer apire 5745G. I suspect the problem lies in that the nvam.inf file that did not contain the line NVIDIA_DEV.0A29.06 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M” (even though i got directed to this through envidias driver browser),

I added that from the original acer drivers and got it to install to the end wihout any error screens.

Another thing that bothers me is that the original Acer driver contains only a nvmac.inf file that contained all that you point out in the steps.

I added that as told in step six and feard it would not agree with it for i can’t find it in the display.driver folder.

After i reboted it does not work. it only says it can’t find whatever file and something must have gone wrong in the installation blablabla im giving up on this now.

Thank you for your support and your time.

I hope that it is a fault on my part for this is not a working way to sell a product of this nature without following through on something so elemental in it’s operation.

Have a good one and sorry about the complainet :D

This worked for me on my vaio F series gt 540m. I went to nvidia 275.33 for laptops. Games look amazing much different! But I had to roll back because I could not convert 2d to 3d and my video player would no longer play 3d blu-ray. Is this compatibility issues that Sony needs to work out still?

Hey Dude,

first thanks for this helpfull Tutorial. I have the same Notebook like you an install the new Nvidia Driver with your Guide. But now i have very bad FPS in Games. I think the System only use the Intel “GPU”. If i install the Asus Driver i have MUTCH better FPS. I Try too add a Profile in the Nvidia Profilemanager and tell him use the Nvidia GPU but doint work. Do you have the same Problems? Or some Tip for me?

Thanks a lot.

Hello, I did everything properly on my Acer 5745G ( video GT330M)
I cleaned the remaining parts of the drivers after uninstalling them with Driver Sweeper. Then I installed the drivers but PhysX failed to install and after rebooting when I try to open nvidia control panel it says “NVIDIA Display settings are unavailable. You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU”

Btw hardware id: “PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0A29&SUBSYS_035B1025”
P.S I’ll try some other methods too and try to solve it meanwhile.

there are no nvam.inf in my nvidia(offcial) drivers folders…

Hi there, i have tried to follow your guide but run into a problem on step three.
Basically the driver i downloaded from sony has an .inf file that does not appear in the nvidia offical drivers.

Which is NVSZF
This is not included in Nvidias driver folder :/

ive hit a dead end and wonder if you can offer any advice, or still offer to modify drivers for people?

This is the model of the vaio im using > VPCL138FG : L Series Notebook > http://www.sony-asia.com/support/product/vpcl138fg
its a flat screen all in one, still classed as a notebook.

Here is my NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Hardware id > PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0A29&SUBSYS_9060104D

i was trying to update the latest nvidia drivers > 280.26-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit

Hope you you can help with this as im completly baffled what to do , what happened to the good old days where u just bought a system , go to gfx cards website, download a driver and install it :(

regards Ian

i dont have 2 drivers download cant find one from asus. only downloaded it from nvidia. the numbers i found in my lappy isnt in the driver help me . although i did put in my model and all

Thank you… I am able to proceed to the installation… I haven’t done step 6 still it works! Tried step 6, it failed :)

does it work in asus A43SV-VX090D? please help me :'(

Please Help My. My Hardware ID Is PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_20471043

I havce an Acer 4755G and there is only one .INF file from download I got from the Acer website: NVAC.INF. When I open it I can’t find PCIVEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_05061025 anywhere.

All Acer Aspire users who have the option of switching graphics from nvidia to integrated, go to your bio and under Main, set your graphics from “switchable” to “discrete”, than you wont have any issues from hardware detection and you wont have to mess with any inf files.

I’ve done this once already, a few months ago, when the last Nvidia driver came out. I follow your instructions and it worked perfect! However, the lastest driver for my graphic card came out yesterday and from the looks of it I may have to go thourgh this all over again. Not that I’m complaining, but I didnt realize that winrar was a trial and now it will not allow me to extract files. Is there a another program I can use to extract file or do I really need to go through with this exercise all over again? I also have an Asus G74sx

Hi there. I have just bought a Dell laptop. its inspiron 5110. it said that it supported 1gb Nvidia but i can see that it says intel hd graphics. so does it mean i have to install this Nvidia graphics? and if yes then how. please let me know. thank you

I have a MSI GT780DXR with a 570M Nvidia Card. This guide was very informative and helpful to get the beta drivers installed (for BF3). I can’t thank you enough. Had no issues with any part of the install.

I just want to say… spiritfly, you da man! I don’t know what chemicals you’re inhaling to know this, but it works! I hope NVIDIA compensates you for doing the job of their “consultants” and actually helping out lost souls.

Tried it with ASUS K43SV win7 64bit, version 268.xx –> 280.xx = awesome

if it doesn’t work the first time, it’s probably your fault. try to follow the steps to the letter. common (my stupid) mistakes were:
STEP 3: the two klingon lines that you paste onto the NVIDIA .inf belong to two SEPARATE sections (NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.0 and NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1, see last number)
STEP 1-6: always copy FROM the ASUS .inf TO the NVIDIA .inf
STEP 1-6: backup both your .inf files BEFORE you do anything, just in case
STEP 7: DO NOT uninstall (and delete) the driver for the hardware, just the software hahaha

thanks a whole lot!

Can someone help me with installing beta drivers for my Asus A53SV please. Step three means that i need to copy this Klingon stuff from 280 driver which i have installed right now and working to 285.38 beta driver? Also do they have to be identical, cause i don’t see nvac, nvaa or nvam files in 285 folder. In beta folder there is everything else nv** but these mentioned above. Or should i rollback to older driver like 268 and try update from that to 285 beta?

Anyway my Hardware ID is: PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0DF4&SUBSYS_15F21043

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ680 which uses an Nvidia 8400M GS Video Card
