Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT (drivers required) for win7 32bit.

[Obaid1]

HARDWARE:      NVIDIA GFORCE 8400M GT

OS:                    Windows 7 32bit drivers

NOTEBOOK:      SONY VAIO VGN-NR32S

I upgraded my OS from vista to win7 but not able to fix the nvidia drivers upgrade, nvidia was working fine in Vista but its not picking up its software drivers in current OS i.e. win7 x32.

I tried to search out and downloaded some versions from Nvidia website  (E.G. 186.81 270.61 275.33 280.26 285.38 285.79 285.62 101.19 101.70  181.72 270.61 101.19 97.59 176.60 259.93 etc etc) but none of them detected  according to my hardware, tried lot of nvidia drivers versions but their   .exe files are not working and saying conflict with hardware installed  on my notebook.

following errors coming up whereever i try these versions.

"The Nvidia setup program could not locate  any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will  now exit"

OR

"the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics  hardware"

Please help out.......................

Please if someone can give me a link for my suitable version of win7 (32 bit) plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Many Thanks.

Hi Obaid1,

Drivers direct from NVIDIA will not work unless you use a modified INF file.

Have you tried the Vista drivers from here?

If these don’t work have a look at the following link.

Installing drivers other than those released and tested by Sony is, of course, at your own risk.
