40.72 WHQL for 9x/ME - BROKEN

Matth · Nov 10, 2002, 12:38 PM

The Win9x/Me version is **BROKEN**

The NVIDS.CFG file refers to NV4_DISP.INF and NV4DISP2.INF
When the files in this release are called NVAML.INF and NVAML2.INF

Correcting this allowed me to install - is this replicated in the 2000/XP version?

...I just installed thru control panel and updated my video adapter. I thought it was just a problem unique to me.

Thanks for the catch there!

Matth · Nov 10, 2002, 10:02 PM

Does it stop the control panel install method or not?

What does this say about WHQL?

The only things in the NVAML2.INF are the TNT, And the Aladdin TNT2
I thought the old TNT dropped out of latest Detonator driver support LONG ago - looks like it's back.

Looking at the 3DMark 2001 demo, UNBELIEVEABLE IQ for my little Graphicsblaster MX - the trees and the plants below are actually swaying - all I ever remember before was virtually stop-frame at that point - I must do a full performance run!

How do I get the install to work if it is looking for two incorrect .inf files?

Alan Allen · Nov 11, 2002, 06:25 PM

Figured it out myself!

"Sometimes I amaze myself!"

For those not as amazing as I am:

Change name and file type to.rar

UnRAR and then Edit the .cfg file

NVIDS.CFG file refers to NV4_DISP.INF and NV4DISP2.INF
Change to this: NVAML.INF and NVAML2.INF

Well I installed the 40.72's and tried them out.

No Big Deal!!!

Certainly no 25% increase in speed.

3DMark2001 and Vulpine GLmark scores are about the same (or a little lower) than the 40.71's

Not worth D/L'ing unless you are having a problem with your current driver set.

I decided to go back to 40.71's as I am getting studddering in MOHAA with the 40.72's

G@MeBoY · Nov 13, 2002, 03:13 AM

I dont know how do you folks call this bug, but I am still having that anoying tearring like with 40.41 (UT2003 was the worst affected, still is). I tought WHQL's aren't suppose to have thoese bugs ??? I think I'll go back to 30.82. Is there a way to get rid off that bug ??? Or is that only on Ti4200 cards ??? I don't like giving 160$ for image tearrings, that not my idea of "high image quality display"

so any help ???

Matth · Nov 21, 2002, 06:16 PM

They fixed the install bug a while back - though I'm siure not as quickly as they seem to be suggesting!

G@MeBoY · Nov 25, 2002, 06:57 PM

I menaged to fix the bug by dissabling FastWrittes in BIOS, It seems that card alaready has fastwtties enabled in it's own bios so this setting makes bugs. No performance decrease.
