yeah that where i got them from.

I reat the user guide on that site, it doesnt come with a installer.

This driver package does not include an installer. You must use the INF installation to install these drivers by going to the Windows device manager and manually updating the drivers.

what devices does the smbus driver and smudriver relate to in the device manger?

 

[sonoma1993]

well anyone know which entry the smubus drivers related to in the device manger for Windows Vista?

good question

I had to go through the same process.

I went under "system Devices" and then right clicked on some PCI devices and did the update drive and pointed it to the SMBus folder, it didnt find any 'hardware' to match the drive on the first 2 or 3 attempts, but the next item I tried was a match for the driver.

nVidia has posted some install instructions for the Vista nForce Beta 2 driver here (PDF) --> http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/vista/beta2/vista86_install_instructions.pdf

Sunday Ironfoot, that is what is confusing...

I was going to post a topic on this, but I guess there is already one. There is no device called coprocessor, nvidia says to update that with the SMU drivers. Where does it go?

Look here for their instructions

this is the only mainboard driver I can't figure out either

got the nVidia sata/pata contoller drivers installed, SMBus driver, Yukon and nVidia networking controllers, display etc, all just fine

went through all the entries in Device Manager pointing @ SMU folder and no dice


help! lol

I'd looked through my device manger, I dont see anything called the co-processor or sm bus controller.

well I found the smbus entry, for my motherboard it's the nvidia nforce pci system management.

does the sound work properly for you guys? I am not able to get 5.1 but I do get 2.1

nforce 410 chipset.

I've got 4 exclamation marks called "nForce4 PCI-Express Root Port" and no matter what I do, it won't go away.

Tried Windows Update too, no go. Multimedia audio controller also exclamation mark...

Any ideas? 🙁
