[BREAKTHROUGH P2] New Pascal Special Microsoft nVidia driver port for Vista x64.

[D.Draker]

This is a continuation of my previous nVidia tutorial, but this time I decided to do it for folks with the extended kernel by @win32!

As we know, the last officially supported driver was from the early May of 2016. This one is from 2017 ! Some may say it's a miracle , you betcha !

This driver was tested and confirmed fully working on 600, 700, 900 and 1000 series. Except the cheapest GT1030.

You need the ex-kernel installed, I tested on a clean Vista with the updates up to 03.2019.+ the kernel.

Tools you need :Driver Signature Enforcement Override, Universal Extractor and any HEX editor you like. Go and grab here:

Download here, here it is. NVIDIA - Display - 23-Feb-2017 12-00-00 AM - 21.21.13.7878

 and extract with Universal Extractor to an empty folder :

In the nv_dispiwu.inf replace NTamd64.6.1 with NTamd64.6.0 and [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1] with [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.6.0]

Having difficulties to do so ? Then read how to Modify NVIDIA Driver .INF Files

https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php

PATCHING :

Extract nvlddmkm.sy_ file and patch the nvlddmkm.sys .

1 - search for and  REPLACE 0000080000AAD5 with 00000800004B72

2 - search for and replace 84C0740AB8BB0000C0 with 84C0EB0AB8BB0000C0 and save.

RENAME the patched file back to nvlddmkm.sy_ and place into the installer folder.

Run CMD as ADMIN

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on

Reboot . Run SETUP.exe and install the  driver. Do NOT restart . 

Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose "sign a system driver"

Sign this file !

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\nvlddmkm.sys

Reboot , go and play.

DISCLAIMER 

Some might not like the use of additional software that may or may not be flagged by their KGB/FSB "antivirus".  Per various sources inluding me , permanent disabling of drivers signature enforcement is just not possible since Vista , so you'd have to use Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b and I'm not resposible in any way !

Optional : Run RemoveWatermarkX64 to remove the "test mode" watermark .REBOOT.

Enjoy folks , I modded for you , grab it while it's hot.

Placeholder for additional info.

[Jakob99]

If you happen to have switchable Nvidia/AMD graphics, the following thread may be of help to you. Pair with this and hopefully you can get both working.

 

[D.Draker]

@win32, so I took the whole (original) 398.11 package, cleaned it up with a special programme (removed telemetry , etc) and left only the driver , HD audio , CPL and the installer,

then replaced the patched files and guess what , the installer says it failed.  Re-checked on win7 - the package works ! Ideas ?

Later I modded the 382.16 and several between 385 and 388 and they all worked, but without the CPL ! Damn . They can only be installed via the manager . 

If I forcefully install the CPL along with any driver newer than 378.78  , it hangs up at the orb and I have to do a hard reset . So something in the CPL itself is broken , ideas ? thanks.

Windows 2000 modified driver packages also had problems with the CPL as well. I have CPL version 8.1.950.0 on my 398.11, but I upgraded from 372.70. It also is missing most of its options. (actually, 398.11 comes with 8.1.940.0, so presumably 8.1.950.0 comes from a failed experiment with 411; but even then, some 2016 files were still present)

But you say that you can use 38x without CPL and it works, but if it is installed, it freezes on the orb? I thought it had something to do with other PCI/PCI-E cards being present, as I know that a few others got stuck on the orb with those, while I don't have any aside from the GPU and I did not get stuck on it.

1 - For me, the CPL in your patched 398.11 didn't work at all, it  was not even able to install. But the driver itself works very good ! Yes , the 411 also failed for me, I think I wrote about it long time ago,

in my my tutorial P1.

2 - Yes , I do . Yes,  I can . No, it doesn't freeze on the orb. I have lots of PCI/PCI-E cards in my system, like several Pro audio cards , two NICs , super speed E-SATA boards , etc.

All of them are very old, like from 2007 - 2008 or so, but no conflicts with the cards, even from 2017, not to mention the fossils from 2013, like the 780 ti.

I got freeze only if I forcefully install the CPL along with any driver newer than 378.xx , like I said.

I mean the CPL which matches the driver package version (the one it came with).

I'm absolutely certain the CPL is the culprit . I unpacked some later CPL packages and didn't see any missing dependencies though,

Before the instalation replace the following crapware/bloatware with blanks with the same extension so it won't be beatching about missing files and whatnot.

 

flxcomm64.dl_

 

flxconnect64.dl_

So how do you live without the ability to calbrate the colour settings !? Then you ought to try this 378.78 I modded, a good driver indeed.

I tried 398.11 with its original CPL ver. 8.1.940.0, it also froze.

Did you or did you not self-sign the driver (sys) , like I wrote in my tutorial ? I also had all sorts of weirdness until I tried out this method.

I did not. I think the point of failure would be even earlier if signatures were checked.

But on another note, I noticed that the included OpenCL runtime in 398.11 is missing a function in CFGMGR32. But I think an older one can easily be used, as most of the important OpenCL features were introduced about 10 years ago.

1 - You did not !??! Ho do you load the patched files then ? For me, is no way to load without the signing . I mean, I know you're a magician, but still... Is there a secret ? All of the commands are simply ignored in all cases on my PC. I went across plenty of articles saying this. 

2 - Maybe we should try another driver then ? Somewhere between those two ? Say 385-388 smth.

On the other hand, today I tried the modded 382.16 (Microsoft version) and it froze with the panel again, if I take the panel from 378.78 and install with 382 - freeze again, no panels - works fine!

It may have something to do with the patched version of ci.dll in the extended kernel. It verifies signatures of some other system components.

Maybe, I also have a feeling, my BIOS is watching me  . Jokes aside, I can't update the default 32-bit Vista on that PC. While I absolutely can the 64-bit version.

Weird, right ? The only way for me is to sign the drivers, doesn't matter whether the kernel installed or not.
