Vista 32-bit Driver Installation Error

Kulawend · March 28th, 2008, 10:54 PM

I'm having some issues installing the driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 7150M. I ran the NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver setup and I get the error:

"Setup detected that the operating system in use is not Windows Vista [32-bit]. This setup program and its associated drivers are designed to run only on Windows Vista [32-bit]. The installation will be terminated."

Facts:
- I have ran the NVIDIA driver uninstall program and removed my display drivers beforehand as the directions instruct.
- I am using Vista 32bit and I am not using any other version of Windows.
- I have checked Google and found other people with the same issue, but found no real answer to the problem.
- I am using an HP laptop with AMD Turion 62 X2 TL-62, Windows Vista Home Premium, 2943MB of RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce 7150M.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try the official Nvidia drivers?

Yes, the official drivers were acting up too, but in my frustration I installed Windows XP and everything is happy again. Thanks anyways.

Good for you mate. I wanted to suggest this at first.

Glad you fixed your problem.

I find this weird as i have never had ANY problems whatsoever with Vista. If you look, however, in this site's news, you'll see that Nvidia is responsable for the majority of bugs in Vista
