I cannot find an update for NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Ethernet Driver Version 67.8.9.0

[ALP92207]

Thanks so much! Do you have any advice on upgrading from Vista? The Advisor says my system could definitely handle Windows 7, but I can't seem to find 7 anywhere online? Was hoping to upgrade to 7 before my reserved 10 is ready...

You're very welcome.

Windows 7 is getting hard to find.

I imagine the only place you can get a retail W7 home premium upgrade kit nowadays is on eBay.

But you would need to make sure you get a genuine unused copy of it with a product key and all.

You can still buy an OEM single license version of W7 Home Premium- either 32 or 64 bit from this vendor.

You cannot use this software to upgrade Vista to 7.  You would need to do a custom (clean) install.

The license can only be used on that one PC and is not transferrable.

I too need to upgrade this driver because Windows 7upgrade advisor says that the current driver version is not compatible with Windows 7. I guess the driver is way out of date. I'm will be upgrading from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  But the driver link your listing upgrades devices that are not part of my PC. 

If i use the Nforce driver link you posted is it going to break all of these? I have already upgraded the graphics card driver and I don't see it as a supported device for this Nforce driver.  I have a HP Pavillion d5000Z.  I looked for drivers on HP website and only some of the summer 2008 old drivers are there for what is in my PC.

Although I do have a Nforce 720a chipset.  I don't need any of those drivers except Nforce 10/100/1000 ethernet.

Will that Nforce driver you posted just update the Ethernet driver and leave the others alone?  From what I can tell I don't have anything this driver supports except the Ethernet driver.

• Ethernet Driver (v73.14+) WHQL
• Network Management Tools (v73.16) "Sedona"
• SATAIDE Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL
• SATARAID Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL
• RAIDTOOL Application (v11.1.0.30)
• SMBUS Driver (v4.74) WHQL
• SMU Driver (v1.71) WHQL
• GPU Driver (v190.38) WHQL
• Physx (v9.09.0428)
• Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.114) WHQL
• Installer (v7.57)

I am desperate for help on this as I don't want to brick my PC so it doesn't work at all.  Can I use the driver from this site

everything looks fine.  Why do you think that you need an upgrade?

Given the "age" of the computer, it's possible that the Windows 7 Installation Media already contains the device-drivers for this "older" motherboard.  Or, it's a download via Windows Update.

I need to update the driver mdklasssen because Windows 7 uprade advisor says its not compatialble.  I'm upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  I haven't installed Windows 7 yet.

Hi, @Nimh20 :

Yes, that is the driver you need, and yes, it will only update the components whose hardware ID's match the setup information files the driver has.

When hardware ID's don't match, the driver can't install on those devices.

The only way I know of that you can 'brick' a PC is if a BIOS update fails to work properly.

Worst case scenario with a driver problem is you have to reinstall the operating system.

Hi Paul,

Can you provide me with the link for the Nforce driver I need?  I need the 64-bit driver.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Hi:

You need this 64 bit driver...

Hi Paul,

Sorry to bother you again.  I'm really appreciate the help you have given me but I just want to go over this one more time.

The driver link you sent me will only update my Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver ignoring all the rest of this stuff since the rest are not part of my PC correct?

Hi 

The driver will update all hardware that is compatible with the driver.

It will not update any hardware that is not supported by the driver.
