I am trying to install the latest nVidia Quadro FX1500 driver for Windows XP to no avail.
I've downloaded the following driver: 169.96_quadro_winxp2k_english_whql.exe which has an MD5 signature of 812dcbf0996d6d37c24de108b79c99b3
However, when I run that executable, I get the following error message in a "NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Display Driver" popup window:
The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again.
I have downloaded this file multiple times, both via Internet Explorer 6.x, IE 7.x (just downloaded from Microsoft website), and using 'wget'.
I have tried running this executable on a freshly built Windows XP Pro box (Asus A8N-E mobo, AMD Opteron 170, 4GB RAM -- OCZ400 Platinum stuff 2-2-3 timings) with SP2 installed and on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61p laptop running Windows XP Pro SP3 (also with 4GB of RAM).
The directory path C:\NVIDIA\Win2k\169.96\English is created, but no files are there.
Any ideas? Has anyone else had problems?
Has the NVIDIA support / download website been hacked?
I was hoping to be able to unpack the executable and do a manual install, but even that does not appear possible.
