System? OS ?

Link?

Ooops, I guess the frustration is getting to me... the o/s is Vista Home Premium.

 

The link I was refering to was within the Nvidia control Panel, under the section "System update", when I click on "Update your drivers"

 

I'll try and wake up now....

I've tried it and it does look for updates on the nVidia site. Problem is on a couple of occasions it offered an 'update' that was actually a previous version to what I have :-).

Thats part of the ESA software I don't use that I Just check manually. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling unless you have a 630 as that is another can of worms..

Spo0ok,

When I click on Help- About NVIDIA Control Panel in my Nvidia Performance, it says version 1.5.2000.01. Are you running ours or the retail Nvidia software? Like Davet50, I update the drivers manually. By the way, the Dell drivers site is very slow today.

These are the latest Dell ESA drivers for the XPS 630 -

DELL_SYSTEM-UTILITIES-ESA_A01_R192448.exe = A01 Master I/O Firmware
Dell_ESA-Performance_A04_R192445.exe = A04 ESA Performance 

<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

R176333.exe = ESA nVMonitor
R176128.exe = ESA System Update

Thanks for your help, its great to get some support and I am feeling a bit better about my few problems now as I'm sure with help it will all work out. 

 

I am running all the Dell versions. How can I actually check the versions of the individual components? the about from control panel says "Version 1.5.2000.10"

 

Should I be avoiding the updates offered by this anyway then ? If I choose to update manually, again should I be sticking to the Dell versions or are the Nvidia verson's safe to use?

 

Thanks

 

Jonathan

Odd, following your post I thought I'd remove all the versions I had and install the ones from your link. All unistalled perfectly, all installed accept the system update.

 

When I try to run this it extracts to a file "R177586" but then continues to tell me that a version of this softwarre is already installed and I have to remove it before continuing.

 

I have checked (what was the add/remove programs) in the control panel and update is not there, nor is it in the Nvdiia control panel. I had already installed the "Performance" part, is this the problem? as this is the only part I have installed.

 

I worked solely from the links supplied, should I be using some different ones? - would really, really love to know how to check the versions of the individual parts.

 

BTW, the Nvidia control panel still reads "Version 1.5.2000.10" - should I be trying to change this too ?

 

Thanks again for your help.

 

Jonathan

DELL-Chris_M:

 

On the ESA System Update, don't you mean R176128 v2.00.22.05, A00, because that's what you have posted previously here at DCF and at my630i.com.

devjonfos,

Thanks. Corrected.

Thanks for your help, the update still doesn't work and I still have version xx.x.xx.10 hmmm...

 

should I give up on this and assume nit important, or do I need version xx.x.x.01 somehow ?

 

Thanks

Spo0ok,

Very odd. I would not worry about the Updatre Your Drivers app. I will always post links to the newest ones. But, I have sent the issue off to engineering.

Thanks Chris.
