Need help w/ Geforce 8600gts Drivers

[JHahn]

I put the cd in for this video cards to install the drivers. Only problem is it wont read the cd! Had no problem installing motherboard drivers but for some reason when I put the cd in it doesn't read it at all. Any ideas on what's going on here? Is there anywhere else I can get the drivers? I looked on nvidia's site but none of the drivers worked for me.

have you download the ones from Nvidia? does the graphics card run games? do you have Nvida control panel on control panel?

If you're replacing an older video card on your system, then make sure the its drivers have been uninstalled, and it has been removed from Device Manager.
If that's N/A or you've already done that, then clean any smudges, etc., off the driver CD. If that does not help, then see if you can open the CD in Windows Explorer. If so, then open the driver folder for your O/S, and double click the file "setup.exe".

If that does not work, then here's a link for the latest non-beta driver for your card(assuming you use Windows XP). However, it looks like the same driver that's on the Nvidia site:

If no luck, then please describe the specific problem(s) you're having installing the driver.
