Problème mise a jour drivers nvidia pour jouer a BF3

[budfox75001]

Bonjour,

mon message est en anglais (copy/paste poster aussi sur apple.com et nvidia.com) mais je suppose que tout le monde comprendra:

en gros j ai installé windows 7 - bootcamp 4.0 et je n arrive pas a updater les drivers nvidia pour avoir les derniers (beta) pour jouer a BF3

est ce que quelqu un a une idée du probleme et comment le resoudre?

MERCI BEAUCOUP pour votre aide

"Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to start again a topic that in my view has been treated many times, in many forums but HAS NOT been solved so far...I looked over many forums over the week end and tried a number of "tricks"

I'm running Windows 7 Pro Sp1 32bits on a MacbookPro 17 - intel core duo with two graphic cards but for better performance running the Nvidia GeForce 9600m GT
I have installed Windows 7 this week and then Bootcamp 4.0 - thus i have now Bootcamp drivers, ie 261.41

I have installed Battlefield 3 which asked me to update drivers to at least 285.27
I downloaded them from Nvidia site 285.27 AND 285.38 (m version - notebook) but when i start the indatllation i get the message "hardware not comptatible"

So far i have tried 1) to install non-beta older versions but higher than 261.41 (which is by the way only available on bootcamp) - it does not work 2) uninstall nvidia drivers, restarting windows with VGA driver and install newest nvidia drivers - it does not work;

What i have not tried (as it was not clear on other forum): 1) replace an INF file? - i did not understand what i have to do here 2) update other drivers? mobility? ATA? - i'm not sure what people were talking about here?

SORRY MY MESSAGE IS LONG BUT I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP - and want to play battlefield 3 that i pre bought by the way...

Jeu sur Mac Jeu sur Mac. Si, il y a des jeux sur Mac OS X ! La preuve dans ce forum.
Pour les jeux sous Windows (via Bootcamp, Crossover etc... ), voir le forum "Windows sur Mac".

Hop hop hop, on déménage

Merci pour le déménagement...
Bon voici la marche a suivre pour résoudre mon problème - elle est rédigée en anglais car je l'ai postée sur d'autres forums (apple, nvidia notamment) - merci pour votre aide précieuse, merci notamment a edd72

Hi,

I make this post as I found a way to solve my issue and this could be interesting to other people:

1. Download the latest nvidia drivers (285.38) on nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?

2. Launch the .exe it will unpack the package in one folder: most likely NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/285.38/WinVista_Win7/International

3. Your installation will be cancelled through "hardware not compatible" - no worries you still have the unpacked stuff.

4. Go to http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/win7x32/285.38/disclaimer and click on "Click here to download the modified INF file." on the bottom - this will download a file called nvwi.inf - copy it

5. Go to the unpacked folder and go to the folder named Display.Driver - paste the nvwi.inf - it will replace the actual one

6. On the root folder (International) click on setup and you will be allowed to install the drivers - note that i have accepted during installation two times that it install drivers not "allowed by windows" (different topic)

Hope this helps.
