Modified Detonator INF's (for Windows 2K and XP only)

Welcome to my modified nVidia Detonator INF page.
I mod my INFs so they should be usable by all nVidia powered Laptops. For a list check here.
The only known problems are with Dell inspirons and M50's, on inspirons and M50's with Samsung Ultrasharp UXGA screens the only detonator that works is 42.57.
Oddly enough the Sharp Ultrasharp UXGA screen works just fine, this is a Dell problem and nothing I can do will fix it.
Some inspirons i8000 and i8100's with UXGA screens my detonators don't work, it's just a matter of trial and see, as above it's a Dell problem, no known fix.
Other than that, I know of no other laptops that my INF doesn't work for.
I've modified the original INFs with all known tweaks. Powermizer, overclocking, AGP pages are enabled, plus many more features.

I would recomend you start with 44.68, as this seems to be a very stable and fast Detonator.
If one detonator doesn't work as it should, just try another.
My INFs are instalable over older (or newer) drivers without uninstalling.

Thanks to all who have contributed, without you, half the tweaks wouldn't have been possible.


Now the small print:
Treat all my modded INFs as beta versions, try them before making them permanent.

I take NO responsibility for what happens, use at your own risk. I've tested all INF's on my laptop before posting.
Please don't complain to nVidia or your Laptop supplier as they won't be able to help with my INF's
If something goes wrong, reboot in Safe Mode (F5 at startup) and reinstall original driver. (or driver that worked before)
If anything on these pages baffles you, don't go any further, read up on upgrading drivers etc to become familiar
But if you want the most form your GPU then by all means read on.

Dell Inspiron owners with UXGA screens see here , for more info on problematic LCD panels.

Gateway Solo 9550 owners, you'll need to do the following to the INF for it to work without having the LCD panel switch off at random.
Open the INF with Notepad, then look for 'Pushbuffermemoryspace' (near bottom of INF) change the value to '3' save INF, then install using driver update.

Toshiba's, if the screen goes blank or has crazy lines upon bootup after driver install, then change the following in the INF using Notebook, look for 'SoftEDIDs' set this to '0' (Zero) and reinstall, this will fix that problem (I hope)

All GPU's
Gateway Solo 9550 and some Toshiba's Read above.

Modified INF.

After installing, nView is set to 'Clone' mode set to 'Standard' for max speed !! (only for 4x.xx, 51.75 doesn't work unless TV is plugged in)
42.51
Version 11.63
Added this INF for those playing with SoftQuadro4, turning your non Quadro into a Quadro.
I havn't played with this yet.
42.57
Version 11.63
Added for Quadro users, seems to be fastest for them. Also good for Dells with UXGA resolution problems. This is the INF for you if you have Q4 700GoGL and a problemsome Screen.
44.10
Version 11.63

Alot of people like this driver, I don't reccomend it, as I have D3D problems with my GF2go.
After extracting files, copy/move the files in the nview sub-dir into the main driver directory, so that when the INF installs it can find all the files, 44.10 is quite awkward with the seperate nview dir.

44.68
Version 11.67
My 2nd choice driver, use this if you prefer speed, its fast and Stable.
45.84
Version 11.63
Driver made for Dell i5150 now modded for all. Found a nice wee feature that I will use on all my INFs. Some handy key controlled commands, Alt+ctrl+T for Clone mode switchimg. alt+ctrl+1 for sending window to monitor/TV and Alt+ctrtl+2 to other monitor/TV
45.91
Version 11.67
This has now become Driver of choice for me, I would recommend this to start with, if you need more speed go with 44.68
47.12
Version 12.00
Modded from a HP mobile driver, quite fiddly to mod. Heaps of changes hence full version change.
52.xx
Warning Read First !!

Do NOT touch the AGP setting in the Control Panel, it WILL crash your system. On NV28 GPU's and above Control Panel reports AGP1x, but it performs like 4x. I won't disable this page just incase there is a fix for it. If you know of a fix report it here
Toshiba owners there are all sorts of problems with your laptops, if you have a working Toshiba with 52.16 report it here, there seems to be big problems with the EDID (reports to GPU of screen sizes refresh rates)
Toshiba owners I've made a special INF for you (with SoftEDIDs set to zero) to try it click here , just install as normal. Report your results here
Now I think the above has to do with that these 52.xx drivers are made for Desktop cards, once a Mobile driver comes out, these problems will hopefully be solved.

52.13 64bit
Version 11.65
64bit WindowsXP Driver for all to enjoy, Guru3D has the file as 52.14 but it's really 52.13
53.03

Version 11.67

Now the Official release from nVidia, a whole heap of fixes.
53.03 StarStorm Speed
Version 11.68
StarStorm (B)enchmark performance modified INF.
53.03 StarStorm Quality
Version 11.68
StarStorm e(X)treme speed extra (Q)uality modded INF.
53.03 StarStorm Quality & Speed
Version 11.68
StarStorm Speed and Quality INF. Probably best to try.
53.04 MCE

Version 20.03

53.04 was made for Windows XP Media Centre Edition, here it is modded for all. First of the v2x.xx INFs.
53.06
Version 20.03
 
53.30
Version 11.67
Latest Det from Dell, modded from a Quadro driver, nView doesn't work as their not included with the driver !!
56.54
Version 20.03
I've got the INF but not the driver, anybody with knowledge of where to find it give me a yell.. This might just be the very first official mobile GPU .

Comments
11th February 2004 None I'm back (obvious as you wouldn't be here), www.laptopvideo2go.com will be my new home from now on. No more changes. Enjoy the new surrounds (it looks the same though?)
10th February 2004 None Major Domain disaster, it does still work but back to my old server for now.
A new and proper no hassle site is on it's way, in hopefully a couple of days.
Sorry for any inconviniance caused.
7th February 2004 None I've shifted to a proper Domain as you can tell, I hope this works out.
I'm new at this web-serving thing so excuse any mistakes. The learning curve is very steep.
6th February 2004 53.04,53.06 and 56.54 (v20.03) Added some more tweaks and possible settings to HKR and HKLM
Any body with a superduper external monitor can now have refresh rates up to 240hz.
Also disabled SideBand Addressing (causes instability in some systems), if you can't live without it just place a ; in front of : HKR,, EnableAGPSBA, %REG_DWORD%, 0 reinstall and it's enabled again.
31st January 2004 53.04 and 53.06 (v20.02) Added support for the NV31M, NV31M Pro and the Quadro FX go1000
26th January 2004 53.04 and 53.06 (v20.01) Added support for the Geforce FX go5700.
23rd January 2004 53.04 and 53.06 (v20.00) A completely reworked INF, based on desktop INFs, there might be issues to sort out yet as these are new. Feedback in usual place is encouraged.
22nd January 2004 53.04 MCE v(13.01) Fixed a wee mistake in the INF (luckily it was only experimental) plus lots of mods to the uninstall section, should remove alot more settings now.
16th January 2004 53.04 MCE (v13.00)

A special INF for playing with, just trying a very simplified INF with just default settings.
I've only enabled all the Display properties pages. Works just fine for me.

15th January 2004

47.12 (v12.00)
53.03 StarStorm X

Another 4x.xx driver this one from HP, lots of changes to the INF to get it to work.
Also added another StarStorm INF the speed/quality.

13th January 2004 53.04 MCE (v11.80) Added support for Toshiba SUBSYS_FF001179 with FXgo5200 and 5600 machines.
Hopefully these machines will work properly now.
12th January 2004 53.04 MCE (v11.70)

I ended up with StarStorm settings in v11.69, an increase in speed occured, but might be at the cost of performance, so their removed. If you like the settings load the v11.69 INF here.
I'm doing this as I prefer to keep the drivers as close as original as possible, except for adding all the known tweaks. I will in the future keep modding StarStorm INFs for Speed/Quality.

11th January 2004 53.04 MCE (v11.69) nVidia's latest official driver with Media Centre additions, not sure what they are, if you know let me know.
6th January 2004

53.03 Starmstorm (B)enchmark speed
53.03 StarStorm e(X)treme Speed/extra (Q)uality

Added these 2 StarStorm modded INFs for you speed/Quality freaks.
I havn't tested them, any probs give me a yell.

4th January 2004 44.68/45.91/52.16/52.18/53.03/53.30 (v11.67) First update for the year, some small changes, it should now be easier to set 2nd Display to primary. Plus some other cosmetic changes.
30th December 2003 None Added a couple of counters (this page and home page) just to see where people are directed to. This will be my last update this year. Have a good new Year, and lets look forward to stable and fast 5x.xx dets to come. [Update 2300 visitors in one week (wow I'm blown away)]
16th December 2003 53.30 (v11.66) I found the INF and modified it but I can't find the Detonator to go with it, so untested. (update fully tested, and NO nView !!)
15th December 2003 52.13 64bit (v11.65) I thought I'd better update you 64bit laptop owners to the latest drivers. (untested)
6th December 2003 44.68/45.91/52.16/52.18/53.03 (v11.65) Made these INFs up to Beta 4, no complaints so now official.
5th December 2003 52.18 (v11.65 beta 4) Based on a Fujitsu driver for the Quadro 1100. I havn't tested this yet. But it here to try.
3rd December 2003 53.03 (v11.65 beta 3) Lots of wee changes see above.
25th November 2003 44.68/45.91/52.xx (v11.64) Toshiba owners are having much better result with v11.64, except for 53.03, and added support for Toshiba GFgo5200 SUBSYS#00101179 in all v11.64
23rd November 2003 All INFs (v11.63) Updated all INFs with the Toshiba go5600 fix. Removed 45.33/45.62/52.13
[Update, due to an upload error (I thnik) the Toshiba fix didn't get through, 3rd time lucky, so here is v11.63]
22nd November 2003 53.03 (v11.62) 53.03 had nView disabled, I've enabled it, and fixed Toshiba go5600 install bug.
21st November 2003 All INFs (v11.61) Fixed the Toshiba GFgo5600 install, no other changes.
LOTR TTT Extended DVD arrived today, so no updates for next few days.
20th November 2003 11pm 45.91/53.03 (v11.6)
All others (v11.51)
Added support for Toshiba GFgo5200 SUBSYS#00101179 and also a new driver 45.91.
Finally fixed the Dualview problem, now you have it in 52.7x+
20th November 2003 4pm 53.03 (v11.5) Added this latest driver, lots of wee fixes from older drivers.
19th November 2003

45.84 (v11.5)


All other INFs (v11.5)

A new 4x.xx driver with new bits to explore. This Det looks rather good. Like 45.74 and 45.62 it based on a Mobile driver. I've re-enabled the nView page, this means that the driver might default to 'Clone' Mode, all you need to get it to Standard mode is to press Alt+Ctrl+T.
Made these to be the same as 45.84, might also have fixed the problem that some experienced with no control panel.
16th November 2003 3pm All INFs (v11.4)

Fixed the Toshiba NV17 section where error occured while installing. Added Toshiba 460go with SUBSYS#00011179
Removed 44.03/44.71-45.32/45.62/50.08/51.75/52.14, it's too hard to look after so many INFs. I've kept the ones I think are worthy.
Updated all remaining INFs to version 11.4

16th November 2003 10am 52.70 (v11.3) Something went horribly wrong with upload of v11.22 (part of INF was missing thx Zulu), I fixed up the nvDual part of the INF. Won't affect any GPUs.
15th November 2003 8pm 52.70 (v11.22) Toshibas with 420go and 440go and 5200go (SUBSYS#00011179) have SoftEDIDs = 0 added hopefully this will make the driver work properly.
No other changes to any other GPU's.
15th November 2003 7am 52.70 (v11.21) Fixed minor bug with Toshiba 460go.
14th November 2003 52.16/52.70(v11.2) Added support for the Toshiba GF460go. My INFs are now split in to 2 groups. One is based on Dell settings and the others are based on Toshiba.
13th November 2003 52.70 (v11.1) Latest and greatest 52.xx to be released, it apparently fixes the AGP bug and some others as well. You have to try for your selves. Added support for Toshiba GF440go, FX5200go, FX5200go 32/64MB and FX5600go.
12th Novenber 2003 52.16 (v11.0) Toshiba 420go and HP ZD7000 owners, there is now a special section for your machines.
I hope to add more individual laptop models as I get the original INFs. If your laptop doesn't work with my normal INF then place your original INF here
Am also working on the uninstalation so it removes all settings, this will be work in progress.
6th November 2003

42.57/44.68/44.82/44.87/45.28/45.22/
45.62//52.13/53.16 (v9.8)
45.74 (v10.1)

Remmed out the unknown settings from my INFs, everything should still be enabled, but it seems to fix/lessen the crashes experienced by i5150 users.
4th November 2003 45.62 (v9.7) and 45.74 (v10.0) Added 2 INFs based Mobile detonators, 45.74 looks very interesting as it has a programable settings for Docked/Undocked. Give them a try.
1st November 2003 42.57/44.68/45.33/52.13/52.16 (v9.65) Updated these INFs, enabled AGP8x, and Fast-writes for those that have the capability
31st October 2003 52.16 and 45.33 (v9.6) Added support for the new FXgo5300, as seen in the Medion Titanium MD40100.
29th October 2003 50.08 (v9.4) Added the very first 5x.xx driver, only for Win 2k3 (IA64) users, now you have a choice.
28th October 2003 44.68 45.33 and 52.16 beta INFs 3 beta INFs for Samsung US UXGA screen owners to try. Report here with results.
26th October 2003 8pm 52.16 StarStorm (v9.51) The INF for you Quality geeks.
26th October 2003 6am 52.xx (v9.51) Sorry guys, I made a small typing error, which resulted in 'Wrong Paramter' error, it has been fixed, it didn't effect the installation.
24th October 2003 52.xx (v9.5) A Quadro 4 700gogl user commented that my beta INF without any tweaks fixes his DX9 problem, so I have removed all non essential tweaks from INF to ensure they work with 52.xx.
23rd October 2003(12am) 52.16 (v9.4) Finally released, I've had this for a while (Thx to you know who). While waiting to release I was able to do some more finetuning.
22nd October 2003

42.57/44.68/44.87/45.28/45.33 (v9.4)
50.21/51.75/52.13/52.13SS/52.14 (v9.4)

Updated these INFs to version 9.4. Added seperate section for NV18 (448go and 488go) and some more wee enhancements. Added Support for the FXgo5100 and FXgo5200 32/64M.
20th October 2003 52.13 StarStorm (v9.3) A special INF for you Speed/Quality Freaks.
19th October 2003 52.14 (v9.2) Another 52.xx driver, same as 52.13 as far as I can see.
17th October 2003 52.13 (v9.1) Dell owners with GF4 4200go and FX5200go, when in the Display Control Panel, the AGP page will report 1x, but Sisoft Sandra reports 4x. I would be inclined to believe that Sandra is right and Display panel is wrong as the performance is that of AGP 4x.
16th October 2003 42.57/44.68/45.23/45.33 (v9.0) These INFs are now like 42.57 with seperate sections for each GPU group.
No added tweaks.
14th October 2003 44.03-51.75 (v7.6) 52.13 (8.0) For the first time, I've had to go back in versions, my latest tweaks caused havoc on Toshibas, sorry (they worked on mine). Never mind.
13th October 2003 44.03-51.75 (v7.8) 52.13 (v8.1) Made some adjustments to the TV-out settngs, should be the same for all GPU's
9th October 2003 52.13 (v8.0) A leaked driver by 3DGuru, use with caution they have problems with this driver.
8th October 2003 50.21 (v7.7) Added the Win 2k3 server Detonator, for 64 bit Windows only, untested.
6th October 2003 42.51 (v7.5) Added 42.51 INF (no Driver link yet) for SoftQuadro users.
2nd October 2003 44.85 (v7.6) Added this Dell GF FX go5200 driver. Does not fix i5150 probs :(
30th September 2003 45.32 (v7.6) Another 4x.xx driver, added some more tweaks I found.
29th September 2003 All INFs All INFs are basicly the same now, 42.57 (v7.3) is really only for Quadro users. 51.75 (v7.5) has latest teaks added, still an Alpha driver. All other INFs (v7.4) are now like 45.33.
28th September 2003 45.33 (v7.4) Enabled Keystone, added some more teaks, and fixed uninstallation, also added support for upcoming Geforce FX go5250, and lastly fixed the problem that Toshibas had with 1400x1050 screens (thanks Stefan for testing)
28th September 2003 42.57 (v5.3)
45.33 (v7.3)
Tried to enable the Quality slider for Quadro4 700gogl GPU's but failed.
25th September 2003 None Added Dualview Instruction Page to homepage.
24th September 2003 44.87 (v7.2) Added 44.87 from Dell, made some small changes and alphabetised the settings.
23rd September 2003 44.03 - 45.33 (v7.0) 51.75 (v7.1) Remade INFs again, I'm happy with them now, each section is easy to read and then modify, I've added all known settings, if you know of more let me know.
22nd September 2003 42.57 (v5.2)
All INFs (v6.5)
51.75 (v6.6)
Added some more tweaks from other Detonators.
As above. Made to fix i5150 crash problem, works for some but not all.
Same as above but 1 extra driver gets loaded for Mutimonitor.
21st September 2003
51.75 (v6.35)
Changed 51.75 install name under Add/Remove programs to help in unistalation of driver, previously it would add another driver if there was already a detonator installed.
18th September 2003 9pm None I've removed the PBMS=3 and SoftEDIDs=0 from downloads, but added the instructions above, their very easy, this way I can keep track of INFs alot better.
18th September 2003 12am 51.75 (v6.3) Added more tweaks mostly for NV31/34 and more cosmetic changes.
17th September 2003 51.75 (v6.2) Made mostly cosmetic changes, and added one more tweak for NV31/34
16th September 2003 8pm 51.75 (v6.1) Found some more tweaks (thx Teraphy) and added them.
16th September 2003 11am 51.75 (v6.0) The 50's are finally here. Lots of wee changes, and fastest ever for me.
14th September 2003 45.28 (4.01) Added 45.28, doesn't fix Samsung UXGA problem on inspiron or M50
12th September 2003 43.45 Removed 43.45, doesn't work with Dell Samsung UXGA screens.
10th September 2003 45.33 (v4.01) Added 45.33, detonator made to fix the FX5900 flicker problem.
4th September 2003 44.03 (v4.01) 9pm Added 44.03 the fastest 3DMark 2k1 score yet with a GF4200 go.
4th September 2003 43.45 (v5.1) 5am Added 43.45 this works for Dell i8200 with problem inverter/LCD combo and a GF 4x0go, but not for Q4 700 users with problem combo :(
1st September 2003 42.57 (v5.1)

A special INF for Quadro4 700GoGL users, that have the Seiko Epson/Samsung Inverter/LCD panel combo. This should work and you have all the tweaks enabled.
I'm not too sure how other Seiko/samsung combo's will get on, so give it a try.
This is a special INF for 42.57, I completely rewrote it, hence the full version number update. I probably won't use it as my main INF as it's too hard to keep modifying.

27th August 2003 42.57 (v4.01)
44.10 (v4.01)
All INFs (v4.01)

Added 42.57, Quadro users have commented this being the fastest so here it is.
Added 44.10, Another driver liked by many. D3D problems with GF2go.
Added support for the GF 410go and the new FX5650go as in theDell i8600

25th August 2003 All INFs

1) Removed 44.81 and 44.90 if you need these, Teraphy has 44.90 modded.
2) Modded all remaining INFs to be the same as 45.24 (v1.03), from now on I'll version number my INFs like Detonators (ie highest number is newest INF)
3) INFs will work with English or International versions, only the English files will be installed. Should save in downloading.

24th August 2003 45.24(v1.03) and 44.82(v1.00) Made quite a few tweaks to this INF, in an attempt to get the Dell UXGA 1600x1200 to work. Added a whole heap more screen resolutions, I think I got them all now. Also added Chrontel 7019 flicker filter.Changed Pushbuffermemoryspace to zero.
Added 44.82 to the list, has all the features of 45.24
20th August 2003 44.68(v3.27), 45.23(v1.03) and 45.24(v1.02)

I think I have fixed the resolution problems some have experienced, you should now have all sorts of resolutions available like 1280x800, 1600x1024 etc.
I can't test the resolutions above 1280x1024 but everything below works. I can now even make up any resolution manually, I tried 1280x600 Super duper wide screen, looks bloody awfull but it works. I might update the other INF's if there's a demand.

18th August 2003 None

If you are experiencing problems with my drivers, like certain things used to work but don't now. Try this, install original driver (or last working) then over the top install my INF and driver. This seems to fix quite a few problems.
Check here to make INF english only for those wanting to download the smaller detonators (see I do listen to the masses)

16th August 2003 None After a 200km trip to Hospital, breaking all landspeed records, my Wife and I are happy to announce the arrival of our Baby Boy Joshua into this world.
This will mean over next couple of weeks, very little will be done with the INFs as I play with my new toy.
14th August 2003 9pm 45.24 (v1.01) Made INF even smaller, future INFs will be the same. INF was 48K now 24K, and only 1 install for both Win 2K and XP. No other changes.
14th August 2003 8pm 44.68/71 (v3.26) 44.81/90/45.20 (v1.26) Also fixed the Quadro FX 700goGL prob in these INFs
14th August 2003 5pm 45.24 (v1.00) Added 45.24, slightly slower than 45.23
13th August 2003 11pm 45.23 (v1.02) Fixed Quadro FX 700 goGL install prob and remade 45.23 INF much smaller (39K)and easier to troubleshoot from now on all future INFs will be like this. Shouldn't affect any GPU's.
13th August 2003 7pm All INFs (v3.25, 1.25 and 1.02) I removed Virtual Desktop, too many problems especially with Dell i8100, if you want it back see here (18-8-03 update, some i8100s still have virtual desktops even with it turned off ??)
12th August 2003 All INFs (v3.24, 1.24 and 1.01) Fixed bug with GF 448 go and removed some doubled up settings.
11th August 2003 44.71 (v3.23), 44.81 and 44.90 (v1.23) Alright I lied, I did update the INFs I said I wouldn't. (I had some time to burn)
10th August 2003 44.68, 45.20 and 45.23 No actual changes, except to INF file names and for ease of use, I've changed the version numbers of the INFs, should be easier to manage now.
8th August 2003 (11pm) 45.23 (v1.00) 45.23 added, and fastest Detonator there is. (well for GF2go anyway)
8th August 2003 (10pm) 44.68 (v3.23) and 45.20 (v1.23) lerox discovered that by setting SoftEDIDs to zero fixed his off centre display on his Toshiba 1410. So I added another section to my downloads.
5th August 2003 44.68 (v3.22) and 45.20 (v1.22)

Added switch to stop telling of resolution change in games etc. If you want it back see here.
I removed the C139 setting from the INFs this will affect Quadro 4 700 GoGL users, I've combined the settings with P138. Any probs give me a yell.
Also I won't be updating 44.71, 44.81 or 44.90 anymore there is nothing new, faster or better about these INFs and it takes a long time to mod. I will mod new INFs as they come out. And up date them if they are an inprovement on older Detonators.

4th August 2003 44.68, 44.71, 44.81, 44.90 and 45.20

Made 2 INFs one with PushBufferMemorySpace=2 and one with 3.
For some reason PBMS = 2 doesn't work well with Gateways and Dells.(GF2go)

1st August 2003 44.68, 44.71, 44.81, 44.90 and 45.20 Fixed slowdown in IExplorer when scrolling down pages (PushBufferMemorySpace) inherited from original Dell INF.
30th July 2003 (7pm) 44.68, 44.71, 44.81, 44.90 and 45.20 Added multiple screen scan (ie Desktop can span 2 screens up or down)
30th July 2003 (3pm) 44.68, 44.71, 44.81, 44.90 and 45.20 Added 'Rotate page' and 'nView page' in control panel.
27th July 2003 45.20 45.20 has been added, also added my Homepage to start of all INF's
24th July 2003 44.81 44.81 has been added.
