Post subject: Wind back video driver update
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>help_and_support (more info?)
|
|
|
I mistakenly updated my video driver using optional windows updates. It
stopped my screen resolution appearing as it should. I tried to wind back
to a previous position but that did not work. So I uninstalled the update
and reinstalled the old drivers (NVIDIA GeForce FX5200). That did not work.
My screen (Dell E207WFP) will not show the correct resolution of 1680x1050.
I have googled the problem with no luck and have contacted Dell to see if
they know the reason but am not particularly confident.
I have a full backup that I could use but I am reluctant to do that as it
will overwrite changes made since the backup. Is it possible to tell which
files I should restore from the backup that will put the drivers back to
where they were and also to put my screen setting back to its old way or is
that too complex given the uncertainty of the changes I might have made
elsewhere.

Perhaps you should download drivers from www.nvidia.com might just be that
the older drivers are not overwriting the MS update correctly.

How did you "wind back" your video driver? The correct way is through
Device Manager...click the Roll Back Driver button to revert to the
previous driver.
In Device Manager, uninstall your video card. Upon restart, Windows will
detect your video card and install its own generic driver. Now you can
install the newest video driver direct from the manufacturer's website.
Follow their installation instructions religiously.
Obtaining drivers through Windows Update is not a 'mistake.' Those
drivers work just fine, you're just not going to get as good performance
as you do when you get your drivers direct from the manufacturer. It's
like the difference between drinking the swill from your office coffee
machine and Starbucks. They're both coffee.

Perhaps you need to change the monitor refresh rate to the proper refresh
rate that is required for the Dell monitor.
For that 1680x1050 resolution you need a refresh of 60hz If your refresh
rate is higher, it will not display correctly.
a.. Max Resolution 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz
Buffalo
PS: You should be able to do that by using Display Properties (rt clk on a
blank spot on your desktop and select Properties,Settings,Advanced, Monitor. |

I suppose we'll have to forgive MS for, in the past, providing both corrupt
drivers and incorrect versions

The drivers come from the device manufacturers. Windows Update is only a
delivery mechanism.

Thank you very much. That worked. I wonder why those supplied by Dell did
not work?

I attempted to wind back using system restore but it refused to go back.
I don't seem to have that option in device manager thanks

Not quite correct
MS has, in the past, delivered corrupt Sil drivers and Nvidea incorrect
version drivers
The drivers delivered are not the same as those obtainable direct from
manufacturers

No, you are incorrect. Device drivers are provided by the device
manufacturers. The only drivers that Microsoft writes are for its own
software - e.g., the XPS Document Writer - and for Windows baseline
functionality - e.g., the VGA driver.
If you obtained "corrupt" drivers for Sil or nVidia, go complain to Sil
and nVidia.

The fault with the drivers was an MS Problem, as detailed by both Sil &
Nvidea, drivers supplied 'direct' were valid
