How do you install a graphics driver?
How do you install a graphics driver?
I downloaded a file from http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...stems&lang=eng which was zipped. Presumably you unzip the file, but then what? Can anybody can help with this one? Carole |

Presumably you unzip the file, but then what? Can anybody can help with this one? Carole In case no one else responds, I can you what I have to do with my Leadtek/NVIDIA drivers. If the file is zipped, then unzip it noting exactly where it is being unzipped to. (For ease later, ensure that the folder you choose is either a new one or has nothing else in it). Disconnect from the Internet and then disable your virus protection. Next go to the Control Panel and check to see if there are any old graphics drivers installed. If there are then remove them. When you have deleted all the old information, use Windows Explorer to find the folder where your stored all the unzipped files from above and look for the file ending in .exe. The prefix should have a label similar to the downloaded name or the name shown on the download page. Once the exe file is running, then follow the instructions on the screen. Alan |

How do you install a graphics driver?
1. That download is a self-extracting archive in EXE format. You run that
EXE and it prompts you to extract the files to your TEMP folder. Don't do that. Instead, type in a new path, say C:\GFX. Something that is easy to find *and* is a new folder. 2. When the extraction is finished, close the dialogue and then go find that new folder (C:\GFX in my example) in Windows Explorer. Double-click SETUP.EXE. Follow instructions. When you're finishes, and have restrarted and everything is running OK, you can go ahead and delete that folder. -- Gary S.

How do you install a graphics driver?
In the event you do not see a file ending with EXE, look for a file ending
in INF. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the INF file and chose "install". However, the best bet might be to look around the same website from which you got the file. They often include instructions on exactly what to do. Try FAQs. Or, after unzipping, look for a README.TXT file or similar. wrote in message oups.com... How do you install a graphics driver?

How do you install a graphics driver?
If it's an nVidia Driver download, you may want to disable any AV/FW, and accelerator programs before the download. If you dont have the luxury of a disk, go right to the nVidia site for their download The site is easy to follow. There's a cool little overclocking program called Coolbits that can be added in a heart beat. Sorry that I don't have much data on ATI (for obvious reasons). Peace, gj |

Carole Thanks for all the help. Actually it was a funny thing, not just one driver but a setup wizard did the install. When I downloaded the file from the intel website I had to unzip it. It took me a while to work out what to do but there was a setup wizard which I just clicked on and it installed itself. Everything working ok now. Thanks. Carole |
