Vista Nvidia Drivers not loading

**Daedlus** · March 9, 2008

Please help, this is the first set of drivers that I cannot get to load and I cannot figure out why.

I am trying to install my video card drivers (Nvidia 9600 GT OC) unattended.

I downloaded the drivers off the windows update catalog.

I have inserted them via Vlite and have them to install in my autounattended.xml

Device Manager just says its a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"

I can load the drivers manually in windows fine.

Here is my Autounattend.xml:

Have you tried to install the original setup silently? in the drivers section there are many posts on how to do it.

http://vistapacks.siginetsoftware.com/files/VISTA-TOOLS.rar

Unpack the driver with winrar

The copy the attached cmd file to thet folder, and execute it.

Then remove the cmd again and point the vista-tool to that folder.

thats all.
