Hai,
Thank you for your reply i did the installation as per IA 32 download but still if i go to the display shows nvidia geforce 2 MX (generic) and also my moniter is not detected properly it is showing as unprobed moniter ( i manually set the frequencies ) and i am using the Samsung Samtron 56v moniter. Though my display has no problem ........ just curious to fix this Thank you for all the support you are giving me

hi
It does not matter what the name of the card is as long as as the driver name is "nvidia" if you really bothered about the name just type in a new one . |
