VPCZ1 BIOS HACK Windows 7 32bit graphics drivers

For running an outdated program, I need to install Windows 7 32bit. Does anyone know how to install the graphics drivers?

I got the Intel 32bit driver from here:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...rator-Driver-Windows-7-Windows-Vista-exe-?v=t

Downloaded the 32bit nVIDIA driver here:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/Drive...32bit-international.exe&lang=us&type=geforcem

Trying to figure out how to mod it.

 

hi Anytimer, I do not know but assume the procedure to be the same as for the 64bit, probably requiring you to manually mod the .inf file for the driver installation.

Look if you can find the same file that was modded by CCs patcher. You should find your graphics card listed in the "Strings" section at the very bottom in that file, together with a specific code.
Find that code in the installer listings for the different versions of Windows in the same file. There you just replace the hardware Id (look the properties of the nvidia in device manager in your 64 bit windows) with your cards one, and you're ready to go.

If you don't require the full graphics power in that installation, you may as well go to install and run it in a virtual machine, e. g. Hyper-V or VirtualBox. The vm uses a generic driver to emulate a gfx. I used this to run an old scanner, where no newer drivers where available.

The fastest way is to flash back your original bios

 

Actually, that would be a bad idea, as by doing that I will have to use a much older driver (260.63) whereas with the BIOS HACK I can use the latest for this GPU (342.00).

Anyway, I am pleased to report success. I modded the driver inf myself. If anyone needs it (unlikely - who uses 32bit any more?), I can upload the inf.

The software works, but very slowly. I need a much beefier GPU, perhaps even a much better CPU / motherboard. The developer of the software recommends nVIDIA desktop GPU 780 series, and says SLI is even better.
