We will assume that the nForce Driver Set Up Routine doesn't initiate or doesn't run correctly or you simply wish to manually integrate a driver or quickly replace a part of one. The following guide shows step by step how one can integrate individual drivers using the Device Manager in the Control Panel. As an example I have taken the Audio Driver which, occasionally after installing a driver packet, appears in the Device Manager as unknown hardware. Right click the mouse on the Device and choose the option ''Update Driver'' in the driver tab and click nextThen choose the option ''Install from a list or specific location'' and click next und weiter
Now choose the option ''Don't search, I will choose the driver to install'' and click next
Choose ''Install from Removable Media'' and click ''Search'' Windows will suggest initially Drive 'A' – Floppy Disk even if this drive is not available. This doesn't matter.
Using Windows Explorer we can navigate into the folder where our drivers are stored. In this example the unzipped 5.10 Driver Packet is stored in the AudioDrv folder. Just click on the folder to open it and display the contents.
The opened folder contains the Driver 'inf' file ''nvmcp'' We will open this file.
This inf file passes information on to Windows as to which Hardware will be installed and in the display window ''NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MCP Audio Processing Unit'' will be shown. We will click on this recommendation and then on next. The driver will be now installed.
After this has run through the driver is installed (you may need to restart the PC) We will then see the following: erhalten wir folgendes Bild.
The Driver is there! Using this method it is possible to manually integrate almost every nForce driver. An exception is once again the IDE Driver. Here Windows will make your life difficult but there is also a solution for this. See the "FAQ List" on the Driver Choice Page. Well, now to round off things with the Audio Driver. The driver will only be half as good if you are unable to use it properly. With this driver comes a ''Mixer'' with it's own settings. In the unzipped driver archive open the ''AudioUtl'' folder and start the ''Setup'' file. This will run without problems so long as the Audio Driver is already installed.
After the PC has restarted you will find an entry for ''Audio Mixer'' in the Start Menu / Taskbar (tray bottom right)
If you click on this symbol you will see the setting options for the NV Audio Mixer.
Were are Driver 'inf' files found ? Manually intstall drivers followeing the above example. See the FAQ List: What does an extracted nForce Driver package look like ?
