Graphics Card Driver Trouble

posted by ZeroCool2u on Jul 04, 2008


Hi, I'm having trouble with my graphics card (Nvidia e-Geforce 7900 GT/GTO 256 mb) after I just installed a new hard drive and I'm sure that the hard drive itself has nothing to do with the problem but I tried to install a new driver and I get an error message in device manager "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" The only reason I noticed this is because I tried to play Halo and it said DirectDraw failed which is puzzling because when I ran dxdiag.exe it said everything was working fine but the Direct3D capabilities and everything else to do with the display were simply not there or disabled and had an N/A instead of enable. So I thought there was something wrong with the driver and then I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still no good. So I tried another driver. Once again no good. I still have no idea what to do and I am at a loss. Also when I uninstalled it I used Driver Cleaner Pro and used it in safe mode. So all precautions were taken. It's not because of anti virus soft ware interference because all I use is Windows Defender and I kept that off during all of this. I have a Nvidia nForce4 chipset and the drivers for that are working. Below are the links to the drivers I have used.

Thanks, I really appreciate any assistance.

did you try to update driver from device manager or uninstall drivers from there this could be where problem lies as device manager removes all parts of driver other programs may not remove all parts even though they say so
