NVIDIA Driver - one man's garbage

As reported on other forums, my graphics display is malfunctioning. The diagnostic report from Microsoft recommends me to try updating the NVIDIA driver. However, I am being led to the opinion that it is now obsolete. I have a Toshiba Satellite Model No. PS5102 - OONUH. It is now almost seven years old. I completely replaced the keyboard, hard - drive, screen backlights and DVD/CD drive. It is serving me but has many annoying system issues which I am trying to find and fix. I'm a bit like Wallee, I suppose.

However, can anyone tell me where to find an update? The driver title is here:

Obviously there may be industry people out there who know these codes.

My computer works better since I uninstalled Java programmes which were connected to 'Active X'. But there is still a driver problem there and I wish to repair it.

 

Nvidia does not supply mobile graphics drivers to the public, they must be downloaded from the PC manufacturer website.

or search for them on this site using your PNP Device ID using your PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_ and SUBSYS_ numbers

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

So you enter 0174 in the PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_ box

and 00011179 in the &SUBSYS_ box

choose your OS, then hit the Filter button

PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0174&SUBSYS_00011179&REV_A3\4&2EEAE0A0&0&0008

Yes, I tried to work through the diagnostic wizard provided by Microsoft.Thank you for that helpful link. I have already visited the NVIDIA site but their browser could not locate a driver.

I will try the alternative search method you indicate.
