ahh classic check your Windows build with winver. newer driver packages can require a minimum feature update. if ure on an old build, install the pending feature update first and try again. lmk how it goes

    long time lurker first post lol short version: Forceware Drivers (Windows 2000/XP) 56.72 Certified wont install.

    Longer version: my perbuilt desktop came with a manufacturer-customized graphics driver... i wanted teh newer one from NVIDIA directly. Every installer i try says its incompatible with my Windows. Is teh laptop maker locking this down, or is my Windows install broken? 🙏 i would realy prefer not to reinstall Windows just to update one driver. If there is a way to check what the installer is actually comparing, i would love to know it. thx in advance!!

    yeah so the hardware ID ends in a subsystem ID from the laptop maker, not NVIDIA. idk what else to say tbh

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic
