Hi

Can anyone help? Just rebuilt PC with a Q6600 from a E6600 and swapped motherboard from a Evga 650i Ultra to a Asus P5N32-E SLI but still using BFG 8800 GTS 512mb OC. I have Vista 64 Ultimate installed and cannot install the beta 169.44's although 2 days ago i could do using the same Vista!

The error is:
Fatal error
You are running a 32 bit version of Nvidia uninstaller on a 64 bit system (Binary type I386).
Wrong version of installer.

Then it says:
Setup detected that the operating system in use is not Windows Vista [64 bit]. This setup program are designed to run only on Windows Vista [64 bit]. The installation will be terminated.

Now, i have UAC turned off - could this be it? The drivers i am using are the 169.25 internationals downloaded from UK siteand the 169.44 beta is downloaded from the same Uk site.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brink · Mar 18, 2008

Hi Splosher,

It sounds like you were lucky enough to find a bug in the beta 169.44 version. I would just stick with the 169.25 until the other one is realeased as a non beta version.

Sorry,
Shawn

splosher · Mar 18, 2008

Hi Brink

Many thanks for the reply and i think you're right regarding the bug and sticking with 169.25 drivers as there's no way i'm rebuilding the PC again just so i can put beta drivers in!

Cheers

Hi,

Ever since I installed SP1 on vista64 Ultimate, things have been a bit flaky in graphics response(using nVidia 169.25). So I tried 169.44 beta and it seems to have cured the problems. Not tried the latest beta since this one seems to work - I'll quit while I'm ahead!

Well I RMA'd my Gigabyte 8800GT OC 512 cos it kept freezing and black screening. I was using 169.25.
I've been looking at what driver to use when I get a replacement and notice that NVidia site now says get SP1 rather than "hotfix"
So has anyone tried 174.44 with an 8800GT? and/or does SP1 sort out the BSOD/driver issues?
Actually it'll be just my luck if Overclockers tell me there's nothing wrong with my card and I'll have to pay to get it back.
Perils of being being a (technically stupid) early adopter I suppose.

Cheers, John

I'm not running the 8800 gt, I have a pair of 8800 gts/640 and have installed sp1 as well, and using the 174.74 drivers and haven't had any issues at all.... :zip:

. at least with the drivers.... only problems have been behind the keyboard :shock:

Hi
Thanks Shawn for update. Just wondering if you can pop into this thread i've started today regarding my NV Monitor refusing to function properly as i believe it's connected to the post on this section regarding the Nvidia 169.44 beta's and their refusal to install on my system -

Hi Splosher,
I'm getting a bit confused here, if the 174.44 drivers are the latest and best why are you concerned about 169.44 drivers.
Sorry, I should probably read your thread and find out.
John

johnwillyums · Apr 1, 2008

Yep. Should have read your thread first. Sorry for butting in. John

Well I got my RMA'd Gigabyte 8800GT OC 512MB back from Overclockers, they couldn't find fault with it. So that was a waste of time.
Whilst it's been away I put my old 8600GT back in and as it happens it runs on 169.25 drivers in my Vista HP 64x system.
So this afternoon I swapped back the cards.
I uninstalled Nvidia in control panel and then booted into safe mode and ran driver cleaner.
Then I switched off the power and put in the 8800GT, booted back into safe mode and tried to install 174.44 drivers but with no luck.
I get a message saying that I'm trying to use a 32 bit uninstaller on a 64 bit system and then I get a message saying my system was not 64 bit and these drivers were for 64 bit.
If I look on my c\ drive both 169.25 and 174.44 are there so if I try to run 174.44 again I am asked whether I want to overwrite it, :mad:

I tried that but it just gets me the same "wrong version of uninstaller" and then the message telling me my system is "not Windows Vista (64 bit). This setup program and associated drivers are designed to run on Windows Vista (64 bit). The installer will now terminate."
I am so fed up with this graphics card and Nvidia.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Hi

I started another thread regarding my exact same problems with 169.44 beta drivers here - http://www.vistax64.com/graphic-cards/143698-nvmonitor-not-working-properly-help.html.
Thing is, the 177.44 betas work perfectly now but my NV Monitor is just a stuttering, lag-inducing pile of **** now and won't work properly at all! Just delete the 2 nvidia driver folders from the Nvidia folder and install the official release 169.25 drivers from inside Vista, not in safe-mode and give them a run through a couple of reboots and games. Then try and uninstall them and re-install the betas once again from within Vista, not safe mode - they may take once you've got a couple of game profiles saved to NVTune.

johnwillyums · Apr 6, 2008

Well I'll give that a try, thanks. I only installed the card this afternoon and I'm already deeply pissed off with it.
I'm on the 169.25 drivers and I didn't have time for any games because I spent so long trying to install the 174.44 drivers. I also spent ages trying to find gamer HUD. Google can't find it, it's not on Gigabytes website;eventually I remembered a link I'd seen in a post on (H)ARD Forums.
Anyway I got home tonight and did about 20 minutes in Crysis. It looked amazing and I suddenly felt hopeful.
Whilst the card was away I'd done a clean install of Vista 64x on a new drive and got all updates including SP1. Maybe this would do the trick, the 169.25s would be fine with SP1, as is suggested on Nvidias website (no more hotfixes get SP1)
Too tired for gaming tonight so I played an album through Winamp with a visualization on full screen.
I got " the display driver stopped responding but has recovered" message.
The nightmare has begun again.
I'm not sure I can stand much more of this.
John

Hi John,

Your problem may be with Winamp. See:

Winamp Media Player Frequently Asked Questions - Download Winamp Media Player for Free

Is Windows Vista supported?
Yes, but there are currently a few known issues that the development team are working on. DirectSound hardware acceleration no longer exists on Vista (resulting in broken support for 5.1/7.1 speakers); Skinned scrollbars may not be displayed correctly; Video playback may be a bit flaky (most likely related to old/buggy video drivers or directshow codecs) or doesn't work at all with Aero enabled; and DWM/Flip3D displays the built-in Classic skin for all Modern skins. We hope to resolve most if not all of these issues in forthcoming Winamp releases.

You might try uninstalling it as a test to see.

Shawn
