Searched for any other drivers with nvidia in their name and deleted them, just keeping the 306.97 installer exe file.ĭriver Version nvlddmkm. I checked that there were no graphic driver-related entries in Programs and Features that I could delete (none). It replied that it had determined driver was up to date.

Tried right-click on MS Basic Display Adapter > Properties > Driver > Update Driver. No other graphics adapter appears, no unknown devices. MS Basic Display Adapter Visible again in Device Manager.Ĭlicked in Device Manager > View > Show hidden devices. No Graphics adapter entry was then visible in Device Manager. Uninstalled MS Basic Display Adapter in Device Manager. Started and checked in BIOS that Primary Graphics Adapter was set to PCI-E. Removed and re-inserted NVIDIA adapter in PCI-E slot and made sure properly seated.Ĭonnected the monitor to the card, screwed plug to socket.
Held start button to discharge all capacitors. It runs on other machines with Intel Express graphics (WinXP and 7) Again it installs the MS Basic Display Adapter, and can't properly run my s/w that needs OpenGL. This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware."Ĭonnected the display to the on-board Intel graphics (G41 Intel Express), removed the NVIDIA card and rebooted, changed to internal graphics in CMOS. So I downloaded, which lists 9400 GT under supported products, but when I run it, it says: Please use Option 1 to manually find drivers for your NVIDIA products." Their auto-detect "Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products" said "The NVIDIA Smart Scan was unable to evaluate your system hardware. Went to the NVIDIA site to get the latest graphics adapter driver. After that it showed that everything was up to date and I checked with Driver Reviver again, which also reported no drivers now needed updating. This also showed the board needed to update several so I used it to fetch the new drivers. Then I switched to MSi's own mobo driver utility Live Update 5.
It found some but I didn't use that to get the drivers. Updated BIOS and all mobo drivers as follows:ġst I used Driver Reviver to see if any driver updates were required.No other graphics adapter, and no unknown device or yellow question mark. ĭedicated Video Memory: 0 MB > In fact adapter has 512MB on-board video memory.Īnd Control Panel > Device Manager > Display adapters just shows Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

As a result, OpenGL doesn't work, and this is needed by the software I most use. Win8 only partially recognizes the graphics adapter and won't allow NVIDIA latest driver installer to see that it's an NVIDIA card. Microsoft wouldn't let me re-activate Windows XP with a different mobo, so I installed Win8, which appears to work except as described next. The PC is a generic box, bought locally and its mobo failed recently, so I replaced it with the G41M. The graphics adapter worked fine in Windows XP.
Hardware - Mobo:MSi G41M-P33 Combo CPU:Intel CoreDuo 6600 Graphics:NVIDIA GeForce 9400GT When I installed Win8, it automatically installed the BasicDisplay.sys driver dated.

I just installed Windows 8 Pro OEM 64-bit (clean install) and it won't properly recognize my graphics adapter.
