K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Did anyone figure out a way to get nVidia Control Panel back if they were installing nV drivers without a network connection? Thankyou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 i thought this was only an issue for a handful of driver versions? pretty sure latest versions all install offline with control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not tried the latest versions yet, so that's good to know. Here's hoping that the affected versions don't turn out to be the most efficient for certain cards... it's a pain having to hook up wireless or running long cables to the switch Thanks!

zeropluszero Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 yeh i know what you mean. which driver is it in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 320.49 and Fermi. Took a notion to play around a bit this morning (first time in a long time!) and not having Control Panel annoyed me more than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 yeh, around that time was where they put in online only installer, if I were you, I'd probably just extract, force installation from driver managment, then change anything required in nvidia inspector. I never have a bench system online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 .... What about SLI and PhysX assignment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Cant do that in inspector somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm sure there's an nVI SLI compatibility bits setting (or list of settings) for each benchmark, but i've never seen a list Same with PhysX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustytheclown Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think it's a matter of if you have installed the correct framework in your os. If you have not the the driver needs internet connection to download it and if not then you cannot get the CP to work. SLI compatibility bits is hidden in nvinspector. You have to click the magnifier at the top of the window in order to see the hidden settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is it all down to .Net? It's been so long since I played with settings and tweaks, I can't remember what's needed for what and what applies to multiple things. I remember that nVI needs .net...depending on other settings *sigh* So much to relearn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbassplayerxx Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 320.49 and Fermi.

sskmercer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I thought with 320.49 you do the normal extraction part, then hit cancel. Then go to C:\Drive\Nvidia (assuming that's where you have it), delete the .Net and Gefore Ex folders and then you can install (from there C:\Drive\Nvidia) as normal.

K404 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 KENNY :eek: Welcome back? :ws: Thankyou Not yet, but at the moment i'm closer to benching, not further away.... if that makes sense? I thought with 320.49 you do the normal extraction part, then hit cancel. Then go to C:\Drive\Nvidia (assuming that's where you have it), delete the .Net and Gefore Ex folders and then you can install (from there C:\Drive\Nvidia) as normal. I'll try that. I don't normally delete the Experience and .net folder. Maybe that's where i've been messing up! Thankyou for the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskmercer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 No probs Kenny, I remember having the same issue with said driver and this was suggested to me by newlife and worked fine. As they are the folders/parts that require the interwebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
