Chapter 2 System Requirements And Driver Installation About the NVIDIA ForceWare Driver Installation Note: If you do not have System Administrator access privileges, it is assumed that the appropriate person with System Administrator access in your organization will set up and install the Release 90 NVIDIA ForceWare graphics driver software on your computer. • NVIDIA graphics driver installation provides both an .inf file-based installation method and an InstallShield (setup.exe) Wizard-based installation method. Note: The InstallShield method is recommended for general users. For details, see "Installing the NVIDIA ForceWare Driver Software" on page 24. • The installation process copies all necessary NVIDIA Release 90 ForceWare graphics driver files for operation into the appropriate directories. Note: If you are using a mobile (laptop or notebook) computer, please be sure that you are using the "mobile" version of the NVIDIA display driver. • The nView system files are copied to your Windows\System directory. • nView Desktop Manager Profile files (*.tvp) are saved in the Windows\nView directory. Depending on the version of the NVIDIA driver previously installed, profiles may also be located in the Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ nView_Profiles directory. • As part of the install process, an uninstall is registered in your system. • Under Windows XP, the NVIDIA driver is installed in "Dualview" display mode. However, the second display is not activated by default and must be enabled. See "Using nView Multi-Display Settings" on page 40 for instructions on how to install nView Dualview mode. • Under Windows 2000, the NVIDIA Display Driver is installed in Span mode. See "Using nView Multi-Display Settings" on page 40 for instructions on how to install nView Dualview mode.
