Similar file sizes.. so it can't be compressed.

It's about compression and file names.

I'm confused:

There are two different file names. How come?

Which file name did you running dism?

Hes saying to use the .bi_ or extract it then add .bin, either file will get the job done

You're saying that nvdrsdb.bi_ contains nvdrsdb but not nvdrsdb.bin

and what I should do is "ren nvdrsdb.bi_ nvdrsdb.bin"

Judging file sizes

nvdrsdb.bi_ = 90kb

nvdrsdb = 270kb

nvdrsdb.bin = 270kb

I think the uncompressed file nvdrsdb == nvdrsdb.bin, just that 7zip unzips that to nvdrsdb instead of nvdrsdb.bin for some weird funny reason that I don't know where the fault is at.

You're saying that nvdrsdb.bi_ contains nvdrsdb but not nvdrsdb.bin

Yes. To verfify run 7zip gui and open nvdrsdb.bi_. Read name.

and what I should do is "ren nvdrsdb.bi_ nvdrsdb.bin"

No, don't do that.

First uncompress the file nvdrsdb.bi_. This result a file nvdrsdb.

Next "rename nvdrsdb nvdrsdb.bin".

just that 7zip unzips that to nvdrsdb instead of nvdrsdb.bin for some weird funny reason

Yes, that's it. The funny reason is a funny nvidia driver hacker.
