Accidentally wiped nVidia chipset drivers now cannot install drivers

I accidentally checked the "Nvidia-chipset" box in driver sweeper, which i know not to do but i wasn't paying attention, so i finally got Windows 7 to boot, and can't install 195.62, gives me the "no changes were made to your system" message at the end.

How do you reinstall the chipset drivers? By chipset does this entail the entire motherboard or just nVidia GPU components associated with graphics? Since my card reader now does not work according to device manager.

 

Ouch, try installing them from your recovery discs if you have them. Usually there'll be a disc just for drivers.

 

I bought the laptop used. I don't have any, meh, guess i'll have to back up everything important and reinstall Windows 7. FML.

 

You'll re-install Windows to get back a driver? Does not compute.
Any drivers that'd be re-installed during a reload of Windows would just as easily be found by opening device manager, selecting scan for hardware changes, and re-installing the driver by selecting "search the web for a driver."

I mean, open up device manager. Is anything even missing?

 

Well, you need to understand that it's chipset drivers that are gone, everything is gimped in Internet Explorer because there's nothing telling the GPU what to do, so cursor is laggy as hell, and i can't seem to find any chipset drivers on Intel's useless website, just stupid utilities. I'll try what you said but didn't i tell you that my card reader wasn't working as well? I've already went into device manager and everything associated with my card reader, FireWire port, and GPU is not working, my GPU isn't working because of a registry entry incomplete or damaged.

 

go to safe mode... uninstall all NVDIA drivers and do drive sweeper... restart and install 195.62 drivers... ur problem should be fixed...

 

Does not compute here, either. OP, if you lost the chipset drivers, reinstall them from NVidia's site. There is no need to re-install the OS just because a driver took the plunge - you re-install the driver.

 

Lol, READ, can you? I just stated that the card reader and the FireWire port stopped working, i got the GPU working and running on 186.82 but the card reader and FireWire port still doesn't work, and nVidia's site does not have chipset drivers. I know that you don't reinstall the mofo OS just because you lost a driver, but i can't seem to find the chipset drivers... and what is the chipset referring to specifically? The Intel chipset? Or the graphics subsystem chipset?

 

Maybe this.

 

Do you have any devices not installed in device manager? If not, do you have any devices using the Microsoft WDDM driver? Especially video.

 

I got the GPU working but the card reader and FireWire port still don't work according to device manager, i tried reflashing my BIOS with a fresh copy since the card reader doesn't seem to be working with simple drivers, but couldn't cause it's the same copy. How can you obtain a previous BIOS for your laptop, as Lenovo only puts the most recent BIOS up for download? If i could do that, i could then upgrade the BIOS with the new one and since i am getting "Code 35-Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update.", i think it might fix it.

 

Pardon what?
Sorry wait for a second here. I think you're going completely the wrong way about this. (No offence intended there). Download CPU-Z, that will often be able to read your make of chipset, be it Intel/Nvidia etc and tell you what model it is.
Go and download the relevant chipset driver pack from either manufacturer.

I'd imagine drivers for the T61p (is that a Lenovo), should be on thier site, for situations like this as well if you've not already tried this!

Once you've got the right chipset drivers, uninstall your GPU drivers and reboot.
Then reinstall the chipset drivers, reboot, reinstall the GPU drivers.

You should then be good to go, there may be additional drivers to sort out, but you shouldn't need to touch the BIOS unless something actually went 'ping'!
