Lenovo isn't exactly a random hacker in the basement, if needs to resign a driver it just does. Regarding the supposed wrapper it may have a role using the setup for dumb users, but has little to do installing the driver normally, from the device manager.
tried a driver and modded INF. had to stop integrity check. installed driver and still it doesnt open nvidia control panel. iinspecting gpuz i see that cuda and opencl are not ticked here driver that can open NCP v3.90 here 3.91
Well, I'f I understand correctly the driver itself works perfectly, while the userland does not. Maybe it just has some problems (in that case you should be able to use the new driver with the older utilities) Or (very likely IMO) there is another limitation in the installer that prevent the userland to work correctly. Like I said I'm not a Nvidia guy, but a look to any xml, ini or whatever is inside the package *may* help.
am starting to believe that even though my card is fermi maybe for the quadro 2000m any drivers above 390.65 will not work. maybe its hardware limit. not sure either just a guess. ill just use 390.65. thanks
Ok now that I see the screenshots I think i got what's going on. Read carefullly what the driver tells. Is not sayng yoy haven't a Nvidia card, it is telling that the card is not connected to the monitor. Why this happens? (I guess) #1 there may be problems with the HDMI driver. OR (very likely) The Nvidia card is not connected. because the Intel card is connected. !!!! I looked briefly at the Lenovo driver I downloaded and indeed the ID of your Intel card is not included, so probably you have a Intel driver that is not what the rest of the package expects, So the Nvidia card is working correctly, the Intel card is working correctly, but they don't cooperate in switching the output. In short try to mod the Intel driver as well
the intel driver hd3000 from INTEL it only supports win 8. the driver from microsoft supports win10 am using the one from microsoft.. am a bit confused.. mod the actual intel hd 3000 driver.? or i need to add hw id in the nvidia driver for the hd3000.?
#1 I'm talking about the Intel driver inside the NVIDIA driver from lenovo. You shouldn't use either the ones that comes from Intel or MS #2 This is the first time you mention the HD3000, the NVIDIA driver from Lenovo is for HD4000 (Ivy Bridge CPU) that's likely what makes the whole thing a NO go #3 FYI The drivers from Intel don't install on Win10 just because they are artificially blocked, just replace IntelGfx.NTamd64.6.3 with IntelGfx.NTamd64.10.0 and you can install on Win10 or replace with IntelGfx.NTamd64 and you can install it on anything from vista to win 11.
Just make it yourself. expand the exe from nvidia, expand the *.??_ files inside the Display.Driver (and rename them properly if you get two char extensions), delete the old *.??_ files. Now get the package in WU format select all files and overwrite the Display.Drivers ones. Then fire nvclean install and go ahead as usual. Not sure if everything will work as expected, but I did the above in 5 minutes with almost zero Nvidia expertise.
