Hi,

I just tried to update the NVidia drivers to the new released 3.13 for
Windows XP. As stated in the read-me file, I disabled Norton Antivirus.
When trying to start the driver setup by double-clicking, the small
installshield window appears, the hourglass appears for an instance and
that's it. No setup, nothing. No entry in the Task-Manager...

Anyone else expereinced something like that or knows what's wrong?

I just installed each driver manually (in Device Manager - right click
on each device to be updated and select the path to the directory with
the unpacked NVidia files), which was successful. Reboot, everything is
working. Th only thing is that I cannot access the NVidia Sound Control
Panel anymore. It is placed in the system tray and usually, I can access
it with a double click. But again: The hourglass appears for an
instance and that's it. No control panel, nothing. No entry in the
Task-Manager... My 4-speaker setup is still working fine, but without
being able to access the Control Panel.


Any hints?


Best regards,

-Gernot

Exactly the same symptoms with the nvidia 3.13 setup program....just
goes off into safe...antivirus is off too! even tried safe mode
 
Loaded these up yesterday without a glitch. What drivers were you using
previously? I haven't seen any improvements except for my optical
drives now have correct names in the Device Manager, instead of just "CD
Rom". I'm not using the onboard audio, so I can't speak on that!

Using the 2.45's I did do a manual install of the Ide drivers in
3.13...so far no big deal! Usually I have found symptoms such as an
install routine just exiting without installing to be a full Temp
directory...not the case here...they (3.13) just exit with ndad being
installrd!
 
I could be wrong about this but I seem to remember that there is an
nVidia app note about having to remove the existing drivers before you
install new ones.

The exact same thing here. I have no idea what I can do.
There's nothing that says whether you have to uninstall previous drivers.

Just read an article where this symptom was caused because of a previous
installation of Realtec Audio Drivers. Once they were removed install
went smoothly. HTH!
