Need help updating video driver.
« on: February 14, 2006, 11:17:18 PM »
I've never updated any drivers before but I bought a couple games for my PC and they both don't work.  Halflife2 and GTA:SA.  HL2 just shutsdown my computer and GTA:SA starts with audio but the screen is black and then it shortly afterwards, freezes.  To try and fix the problem I'm trying to update my drivers, but I can't find my graphics card driver update.  I have a PNY Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card.  Anyone know where I can find an update for it?  Also, if more information is needed, just let me know, because like I said, never had to update any drivers so I don't know what else I should put on here.

    Well I found that earlier, but I don't see GeForce 6200 on there.   :-/

    nCidia uses unified driver. The latest version should work on them all. That's the theory.  ;)

      If you read the nvidia screens and click on the appropriate links you will see your video card on the list.
      It's not rocket science, just a couple of clicks & a short scroll. :)

      I'm sorry, I've looked throughout that entire list.  I don't see GeForce 6200 anywhere on there.  I see others like GeForce 7200, and whatnot.  But not mine.   :-?

          Driver Installation Hints

           
          "Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.


          Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.


          Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.
