nvidia drivers problem

[Tarkus]

i'm having this message in the middle of the drivers instalation saying that it failed at some windows xp compability test... but the thing is, i'm using XP... any ideas?

do you have the original copy of windows xp? cuz sometimes with pirate software you can have some problems, like a friend of mine can't even install service pack 1 for win xp cuz his software is pirate... btw, i have original =D

its not for pirate copies... it jsut means that those drivers havent been WHQL tested (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) tested to make usre its compatible with WinXP i know ATi drivers are before they are released but i dont think nvidias are...

oh, i think i get what you said now, yo get a message asking if you want to continue and stuff cuz it might not be win xp compatible and such right? I got this with some nvidia drivers also, no problem, they're just not WHQL Certified (approved by microsoft and stuff) theres no problem with that, you can just install and nothing will happen.
