Installing windows xp professional
I have been successful in upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro on my =
computer. The problem seems to be that the drivers from the NVIDIA web = site don't actually get updated when the driver setup is run. I updated = the drivers manually, and was then able to run the XP Pro upgrade.=20 Using Device Manager, and setting the "show hidden devices" option from = the view menu, you can see the NVIDIA nForce AGP Bus Filter under = "Non-Plug and Play drivers". The original version that was on my PC was = 4.12.01.0217. The driver file is C:\windows\system32\drivers\nv_agp.sys. = Downloading and installing the latest Platform/nForce Drivers Unified = Driver Package for Windows XP from the NVIDIA web site (www.nvidia.com), = places the new driver in the c:\nvidia\nforceWinXP\2.00\GART directory, = but doesn't update it in the windows system32 drivers directory. By = manually copying the driver from the nvidia directory, I got past the = compatibility problem. The version of the driver that works is = 4.12.01.0278.=20 I also downloaded and installed the latest Intel drivers for the 82845G = - not sure if that was required. Also, I ended up disabling the AGP Bus = Filter before copying, and I'm not sure if that is required either. SOLVED THE PROBLEM THIS WAY:=20 Go to 'Windows Update'. After running the program, click 'Windows = Catalog' (lower left hand side). Click on the appropriate categories, = IE: XP, Drivers, nVIDIA (you get the point) and download the 'certified' = driver.=20 --=20 Nicholas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "richard bogan" wrote in message: =20 ... | Cannot complete the installation because of problem with=20 | a "Nvidia Filter". Tried to remove using=20 | install/uninstall utility but no success |
