Nvidia Geforce Fx 5500 Driver Win7 Professional
Automatically Update GeForce FX 5500 NVidia Video Card Drivers with Easy Driver Pro for Windows 7.
H ello, I'd suggest installing the Vista driver for your graphic card in Compatibility mode. Remove that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; some old driver is not compatible with new OS.
I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! For more details, please l ook at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum. This will give you some guidelines.
One thing to bear in mind is that your Graphics card may not be compatible with Windows 7.check out this link: or go to this for the US website: If you wish to troubleshoot then the first thing to do is to revert back to original driver that was first installed by Windows 7. You then need to make a note of the stop error code when it blue screens and to stop it rebooting automatically you will need to untick Automatically Restart check box. Do a right click on My Computer and click on Properties, on the left side of the window that opens up click on Advanced settings then click on Settings button for Startup and Recovery. You then uncheck the box as mentioned above and click OK to save the changes.
Install the nvidia drivers and wait for the blue screen problem to occur and make a note of all the details that appear and then do some research. I had problems myself at first with getting blue screen problems with my Geforce 7600 GS card even with the latest drivers from nvidia. The stop code I kept on getting at first was 0x0000008E which is often described as a RAM problem or some other hardware issue. I then downloaded the nvidia drivers from MSI who manufactured the graphics card I have and since then I have not had any problems.

I dont know how helpful this is.but, i have a toshiba tecra m2 laptpp with a GeForce FX 5200.
When i tried to install 96.85, it said that it couldnt find the product. After searching endlessly, I ended up finding a modified nvidia graphics driver (Laptopvideo2go.com) since nvidia stopped supporting my card. When I installed this thing, I can now run Aero and furthermore I'm getting better resolutions out of my card than I ever did. Now I'm not advocating this, but in my case, it really helped the performance of 7 for me. Just my 2 cents.

Just my 2 cents. Hi qmartman, Thanks for sharing your experience. I had the same problem as you, tried everything I could find in the net, but finally it was your tip that helped me out. Regards, Daniel. Hi you can run the windows update its automatically checks for the Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher and finds for the driver and installs it mine is also the same card i have done the same thing hope it helps NIKHIL Are you sure you've got the same card (i.e.
Nvidia Geforce Fx 5500 Features
A mobile Gefore FX 5200 for laptops?) and trying to make it work with Windows Vista or 7? Because you are the first person I've heard that has found that drive on Windows Update. Not even Nvidia provides drivers for that card, and windows simply installs a generic driver who is close to useless. Hello qmartman and daniel, Can you please tell me the driver name / version that you use for FX 5200, because I couldnt find the correct files Thank you Hi enkeiz, I went to Laptopvideo2go.com and downloaded their modified 96.85 driver (tried other newer ones but couldn't get them work). For it to work properly you have:. Download the driver and extract it to any folder.
Download the 'modified INF file' and over-write the original nvidia file on the install folder. Install the driver with the Setup.exe file It's working decently well on Windows 7 -32bit for me. I have a similar problem. I'm running a HP xw8600 Workstation with a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 using video card driver Version 9.6.8.5 dated Version 9.6.8.5. Like the person before me I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows 7. Everything seems to be fine, except that some Java programs the program will either show a window with all black inside or transparent.
This usually happens in the primary monitor. I didn't mention I'm using two monitors as well. Sometime when the Java program is in the secondary monitory, and I minimize it, restore it, and then use Areo peek to select another dialog in the same Java program. The redraw of the first restored dialog ends up being a mix of both dialogs of the program. Is anyone else having this kind of problem. I'm fairly convinced it is the video card driver, but I'm not sure what other driver I could use on the workstation to support the GeForce FX 5200 card. Any suggestions?
I just purchased windows 7 premium 32 bit exc. I am running on dell dimension 8300 with a NVIDIA GForce FX5200 graphics card and it took me about 10 hours to get my sound working and Warcraft 3 to recognize my DirectX 11. So I will post the whole story since all day I spent looking through forums, I got a bunch of advice that did NOTHING for me. FIRST: GO TO STARTALL PROGRAMSWINDOWS UPDATE and make sure everything is up to date, I did all 3 of these steps and everything started working so I will list everything I did.
SO to make warcraft 3 work I made sure my DirectX was updated to 11, which is compatible w 7, then I made sure my Graphics card was up to date. (see if it is up to date by clicking startruntype: dxdiag.) That will bring up what Graphics card you are running and the version, download whatever necessary update there is from the net. Come to find out my NVIDIA GForce FX5200 had no driver update for that specific video card that worked on 7.
Researched everywhere and no one had the answer. SO, for shits and giggles I tried the Vista version update of that video card, and IT WORKED. My sound ended up working without me having to buy a new sound card like everyone said I would.
I just did the windows update as I first states. Updated my DirectX and Video Card (Vista Version since they didn't have one for 7) and my sound worked and Warcraft 3 finally recognized my DirectX 11. PAIN IN THE.
I hope i can save someone for the hours of torture I endured.

Install the driver with the Setup.exe file It's working decently well on Windows 7 -32bit for me. I recently upgraded my PC to windows 7 and when triying to find the drivers for the new OS for my old FX5200 Nvidia card i find its not supported in the official Nvidia page.:( I have tried the installation above unzipping and overwriting the old.inf but the seutp shows an error saying Setup had detected the OS is not Vista':/// Any advice? Running on my computer: the fx5200 xp driver can run in win7 with compatability mode for xp sp3. No aero, but all the resolutions and refresh rates work and device manager shows it working properly. Date 5/16/2008. tried updating but appears nvidia fx 5200 drivers are the latest that work. Some manufactures re-write newer drivers that are possibly compatable with win7. Example fx fifty five hundred sparkle brand has win7 drivers, if I remember right, and it runs aero.
Lowest hardware and price supporting aero I could find. Vista drivers also work fine in my experience. Works great for the parts and computers I recycled.
Windows 7 reports hardware missing for direct-x-9. Nvidia system monitor.
Hi to everyone, My laptop is a Toshiba satellite P25 series running w7 and Nvidia Geforce fx Go 5200 graphic card. I have also explored the web looking for a solution to this problem but without luck. I modified the original 96.85 driver (only 2 files are requiered); after installing, the screen resolution is the one recommended by Microsoft (1440x900) but Aero has to be disabled so that the system doesn´t fail, although from time to time the screen blinks but nothing serious. My main concern is to know if Nvidia or someone else could fix this issue because, in my case, the graphic card is integrated to motherboard and it is not possible to install a new one.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Data, thank you as well. 6 months later and I'm benifiting from your suggestion. I have been trying to get my GeForce FX 5500 card working in a PCI slot. I have a Windows 7 system in which the Geforce Nvidia driver for it, is only updated up to cover Vista, but there is no GeForce driver indicated for Windwos 7 on their site for these older video cards.
I add what many have said, your system is too old for Windows 7 devices to work. Well, I got it working. I had the same message that Svuldruck was having in getting the Vista driver to download to try to use it for Windows 7- I think it was saying something like: Setup had detected the OS is not Vista and would not let me install that driver. As you said Dr. Data, run the updates and then it should take and it did and installed.
But now I wanted to know that it applied that driver to that video card. To make sure, I went into Start, right clicked on My Computer, select Manage, selected Device Manager, found the Display video card that I plugged in, then Uninstalled Driver for it. Then I had to refresh by right clicking on the Display Adapters and pressed Scan for Hardware Changes, give it time as it took a few seconds and finally, after doing it a couple times actually, I saw the screen flicker and the video card showed up in there again. Perhaps I did not need to Uninstall Drivers at all, because it immediately showed it as having drivers associated with it as it gave me an option to Update Drivers, but not just to install drivers. Anyhows, so then I clicked on Update Drivers, then clicked on the option to find the drivers myself on the system and then found where the Vista driver was and applied that.
Then it made me restart the system to apply changes. It appeared to apply changes, but still when I'd switch the monitor cord from the onboard video to the video card, nothing but no screen or monitor registering. However, the system was starting up or happening because I could switch the cord back to the onboard video and everything shows up. But now I would plug my monitor cord into the new video card and nothing. So, what I wanted to do is add to this thread to help provide another layer to people solutions to similar problems. That additional thing I had to do that I did not find in my reading helps was this. For my computer, I wondered if there was not just a mechanism I had to employ to manually switch from the onboard video to the PCI video card.
I googled it and went to this site and the basic ingredient that made the difference was to go into my Bios, I think it was Advanced for my mother board and then selected the video display which was by default listing AGP or something like that as the first element boot choice. I had to change it to PCI as the first listed device, then saved and then before or while it started to boot I hurried and switched the monitor cord to the new card and presto, it all is working like a charm. The card had to do some adjusting and I might have to do some manual adjusting to screen resolution, but my first attempt after all of this was to now see if World of Warcraft or Frozen Throne would open up instead of freezing on the start screen and presto, it is working and showing my game. Just in case this can also help somebody, there is a process in the bios sometimes to change the default location your mother board will look for your video card options to start from. For all I know, perhaps the default video driver options would have worked and maybe I never needed the Vista drivers, but I think perhaps I've needed them because so many others have confronted similar problems with Windows 7 playing older video cards. SOLVEDI've been beating my head against this problem on and off for months since installing Win7 on my old Pentium 4 Dell for my mom.
Microsoft's 'Standard VGA Adapter' driver severely limited the system's capability, limiting resolutions to 4:3 aspect and disabling all directx features, for instance. Nvidia's 96.85 Vista driver produced only a black screen with a cursor, requiring a reboot into Safe Mode to roll back the driver. The solution was ridiculously simple, in my case. My mom had plugged in both the DVI and VGA cables from her monitor to the 5200 FX's ports, and while switching between the two input modes in the monitor's menu, it occurred to me that it might be worth loading up the 96.85 driver again and switching modes when I got to the black screen. I toggled the monitor's input/source button, and the black screen was replaced by Windows' log-in screen. Now I have my mom's monitor running its native widescreen resolution on the DVI, with her 32' HDTV set up as a second monitor on VGA, and Aero running smoothly. Hi, I too was having problems with the same fx 5200 graphics card, compatability mode was no good, and it refused to load the driver stating it was incompatable.
well it isn't.
