RivaTuner still not finding my driver after force installing it?
I downloaded RivaTuner and did the whole force installation of the driver since it wasn't recognizing it on it's own.
My driver version was 186.03 so that's what I entered in the box for ForceDriverEntry. I'm using a GeForce 8200 which is a Notebook video card. Any advice on what to do? =/ I'm about to give up. |

Did you make sure the light bulb was on and the check there next to it? Then reboot?
__________________I just did this yesterday with the 186.18 driver and it worked for me bro. I had to close RT and reboot for it to take though. (Did you also type the driver without the decimal point? 18630?)

And I typed it without the decimal: 18603. And yes, the light bulb is on for it. |

Yeah:
__________________RT>Power User Tab> System> Force Driver Version > Light Bulb + Check > Type in 18603 or your driver version (mines 18618) without the decimal > Okay > Close RT > Reboot the pc. "ok go to power user then go to rivatuner/system its the first tab go down to forcedriverversion and manually type in the driver without the dot aka 18618 and make sure the bulb is lit with a check mark. restart your pc." I'll post a screenie so you can see what I mean.

What driver were you using before bro?
__________________Did you get it all out when you tried to re-install? You may need to use a program like Driver Sweeper to get the left over bits...it happens sometimes. Also, where'd you get the driver you are trying to install? NVIDIA? I just re-installed an older X-Treme G driver, the 185.81, and RT snapped it right up--didn't even have to force it. Try installing a different driver. IMO the 186's are cr@p anyway--dropped my fps by 10. No joke. Went back to the X-Treme G and now I'm back at 90-125 in COD4 again. What os are you using? And is it 32 or 64 bit? I'll give you the link to grab a good driver for it that RT will gobble up.  RT found it quick.

Were all going to have to wait for Tuner 2.25 version that supports 186 fully.

Your going to have to wait until riva 2.25 I don't know why it's taken so long. Keep an eye out for it, I predict it comes out this month.
