If I add this component to my image, as soon as I bot the pc, appears a blue
screen with 0x7B error

the component contains the following files:

nvidesm.cat path: %66000%
nvidesm.inf path: %17%
nvidesm.sys path: %10%\system32\drivers
nvmdcoi.dll %11%


resources:

PnPID....... PnP Device ID
nvidesm Service data

My 2 cents on dealing with NVidia Drivers. We are a young company and
have changed video card drivesr 3 times in the past 12 months and we
need to be compatable with all of them.

This has been, as you can imagine a huge headache. In theory you
should be able to have as many video card drivers in your disk image
and Plug and Play should detect the appropriate one - yeah right:_9

My solution was to create a component that contained the NVidia
Setup.exe program. I launch this program (in silent mode, pass *.iss
file - see Install Shield documentation to create one, very simple)
and it 1. detects which card is on the system 2. Installs the
necessary drivers 3. Default sets the screen resolution to 800X600.

The default setting the resolution to 800x600 is a bummber because I
need it to be 1280x1024 and TD sets it for me. So I need to re-set
the resoloution after the NVidia Setup.exe which Is a simple Win32
program call

I feel your pain

Hi jester,
This question was more NForce related, than GeForce.

But here is some info on GeForce from me.

This works ok (if you are ready to cut many things out of inf file)

If you look closely to video driver you will see that driver is actualy one
dll file, and minidriver is one sys file.
And that inf file determiner what else should be installed and default
resolution, etc.
And that all NVidia video cards, use same files for all models.

Can you tell me size impact of your component?

I felt this also, but then I have made universal component around 4 MB.

You can look for inf file I have posted it before in this NG.
