Video Driver Fix for Windows 10

[MushGuy]

Hello, I recently updated my Windows 10 version to 1709. Unfortunately, the video driver (GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M) doesn't seem to work properly with the update. This is what I get:

Related to that, this is what I get in the Java configuration window:

Is there a way to fix this, like some workaround, or a place to download a newer driver (there isn't any in the Nvidia site, and the driver version I get from Windows Update is 179.67)?

Even nvidia says 179 is the latest that supports your gpu

Yeah, but is there at least a workaround for this?

What is the nvidia driver your using? 388.xx is a mess and screwed up a lot on the gaming side of things too.

Once again, 179.67.

I think I might have found something assuming your use 64 bit OS

Try this and see if it solves the scanlines

i would try ddu (display driver uninstaller) and and install the driver again in safe mode not the windows version but what nvidia recommends.

 

[jDSX]

Make sure you do this in safe mode too

OK, I finally tried installing 309.08, but it didn't work because I get incompatibility messages. So I tried looking and I found this page, and I downloaded the GeForce 259.47 driver, and it finally worked: Both the 3d and Java issues are gone. Now let's hope Windows doesn't revert it. Thanks for helping, anyway.

7150m? Holy crap, that GPU is over ten years old. I had the same card in an HP Pavillion. I think it's time to upgrade.

I was going to suggest trying a few different drivers, as sometimes Windows updates can cause weird issues like this and using another driver often solves it, but good to hear you got it sorted out.
