Title: Verde 275.33 driver for Nvidia Geforce 310M problem
Post by: tkh9917 on June 03, 2011, 07:22:11 AM

I am using a Nvidia Geforce 310M graphic card and I've attempt to download the driver and do the installation. And whenever I did the installion, I would always see this message:
The graphic driver could not find compatible graphics hardware

So how do I solve this and make sure I can install the driver?

Are you sure you got the right driver?

Did you get from here?  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

What operating system?

Download Speccy
http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download

After you've downloaded it double click on the file to start the installation. Once you've installed it, open it up. At the top of the page go to File and then Publish snapshot. You will see a prompt asking you if you want to proceed with publish. Click yes, then copy to clipboard. Right click on an empty space in your reply box and click paste.

You have an Acer Aspire 4740 notebook right?

Laptop drivers should always be obtained from the laptop manufacturer's website. This is where you need to go for drivers:

Speccy shows that your video driver is already installed. Is that not right? Do you have errors in device manager?

Yes I have a driver installed but unfortunately it is a very outdated version what I want is the nvidia geforce verde driver 275.33 from www.nvidia.com website. That is the latest version driver which is available for the nvidia geforce 310M card and which is also what I'm looking for.

The only thing that is out dated would be if there is a fix for certain glitches you are encountering from the previous version. You don't need a newer driver version for as long as your current driver works according to its expected result. IF your laptop came with CD drivers, just used the CD installers. And if you are going for the online support to get the correct drivers, just look for the previous driver version that worked before. Only you need to obtain the latest version if a specific problem is listed and will resolve your issue.

I had the same problem with my current GeForce 210-I solved the problem by installing the 197.13 Drivers, and have been using them ever since-the 275.33 drivers just caused my screen resolution to go all fuzzy and put me into 4-bit color mode. That's right, 4-bit.
On a second note, how is your graphics card branded? For example, MSI sells an "MSI GeForce 210" that is based on nVidia's technology and is therefore reliant on nVidia drivers, or at least nVidia-based Drivers.

As with all laptops the drivers should only come from the laptop manuf. site...

This was already mentioned above...
