HDAudio Folder (Can Delete if not needed)Īfter you remove the other stuff and have just the above left, you can double click the setup.exe and it will run the Nvidia Installer and -only- install the above drivers. Keep the following folders/files and delete the rest. Once you enter the folder you can now delete unneeded subfolders. I do this in a similar but different way, since I need the control panel and a couple other drivers. Now You: How do you install graphics drivers on your systems? While you can run the Nvidia installer, uncheck all options, and clean up the system afterwards for pretty much the same effect, it is probably easier and faster to do it this way instead. If you just need the graphics card driver, then this is one option to ensure that only it gets installed. This indicates that Windows has installed the new driver for the Nvidia graphics card, and will use it from that moment on. You should get a 'Windows has successfully updated your drivers' notification in the end. It will pick up the display driver, and install it on the machine. Hit the next button, and wait for Windows to finish scanning the folder for suitable drivers. Select 'browse my computer for driver software' on the next window, and select the Display.Driver folder as the folder that you want Windows to search for drivers for the video card. Switch to the driver tab, and click on the 'update driver' button that is listed there on the page. Locate your video card there, you find it under Display Adapters, and right-click on it and select Properties. The easiest way to open the Device Manager is to tap on the Windows-key, type hdwwiz.cpl, and hit the Enter-key. You need to open the Windows Device Manager as you will be installing the driver using the Control Panel applet.

The archive opens, and you may extract the content of the package to the local hard drive. With Bandizip, all you need to do is right-click on the downloaded driver file, e.g. I have used the excellent software Bandizip for that, but other archive programs may work as well. Head over to Nvidia's official driver downloads website, and fill out the fields there to download the driver for your video card and operating system.
