chipsets 7150, 9400, 9300. exactly like laptop video drivers. I started since
beta and been getting device manager install- win update errors up to today
14 november 2009. windows7 retail. why has neerly every new version driver
install failed from windows update ? I can not find nvidia stand alone video
drivers because it is part of the chipset package.. and that is out dated
even when installed from safe mode crashed. nvidia and microsoft: can you fix
the 'dozen updates' failure issues? the 9400 driver issue failure was so bad
windows 7 would not boot. yes it was totally repeatable with multiple windows
installs on 3 mother boards and 3 other chipsets. can you help me ? why is
the failure repeating with each new driver release ?

It is generally _not_ recommended to install drivers for non-Microsoft devices
from the Microsoft Update site.

Have you tried from this Nvidia site?
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

From the "Technologies" dropdown, Windows 7, I found a link to Nvidia's list of
Win7 compatible drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1241025430517.html
All of the chipset numbers you listed are on the list.

Check the installation instructions from Nvidia and follow them. After my last
video driver update from Nvidia, Microsoft Update recognized the new driver
version and the driver update item disappeared. Make sure to disable any
"protection" software while installing, it might interfere with changing system
files with no feedback as to what's happening.

You didn't really explain _why_ you are trying to update the drivers. If you
are not having any video rendering issues there isn't really anything to gain by
updating the drivers. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it!)

Thank you for the link. I installed the driver download from nvidia and it
works, but flickers when scrolling web pages. might roll back driver. Reason
for install is to get latest driver fixes based on nvidia pdf
'191.07_Win7_Desktop_Release_Notes' and because the 'windows update' software
down load recommended it. Since I am testing windows for several people I
want to know if there are any issues... because I will have to go fix it.
normally drivers improve over several months, but all these new driver
updates have created some problems of their own. Sory to say I am very
disappointed in the problems stil being here. several months of patients are
wearing thin. I am reporting broken software so they can fix it. ha ha.. the
last time I saw this many driver updates was way back on windows melinium and
56k modems. Every one writing drivers and fixing errors will get things
sorted out eventually. It has just been a very long time aproaching 6 months.
At present time I am not sure if I can recommend these motherbaord video
chipsets. It is much easier to just buy and install a pcie card.

A problem with integrated video chipsets is that they depend on hijacking part
of the system memory to function. When my son installed Vista on a 512MB system
with integrated video it left just 448MB of system memory which was only
adequate for his business software. With an additional GB of system memory
added, he not only got better performance but new Vista eye-candy came to life.
I don't think Windows 7 would be happy with less than 2GB memory. If you have
plenty of memory it might be worth checking the BIOS to see if more can be
allotted to video.
