WELL I DID FIND A ANSWER.
THE WEB ADRESS IS
Facing a problem like “Nvidia graphics driver can not find compatible graphics hardware“ , well Many people have been into this kind of problem. It actually occurs when you might have reinstalled Windows and installing the Nvidia driver right after you have installed the Intel HD Graphics or you just want to update your Nvidia driver. Whenever you try to install the Nvidia driver, it shows that it is unable to find a compatible graphics hardware.Now, most of the users try re installing Windows, Intel HD or Nvidia, trying out different versions, but this gets pretty lengthy and does not guarantee that the problem will be resolved. And downloading the different versions, that’s a sort of irritating job.
So, today I will show you how to do overcome this issue, and successfully install the Nvidia graphics driver without downloading anything else. The process is a little tricky one, but its sure that it will not be devastating if you make any mistake. so here is How to : fix the problem of “Nvidia graphics driver can not find compatible graphics hardware“
Note to readers:
We’re getting many comments as many of the users are facing issues while fixing the “Nvidia graphics driver”and it’s hard to answer each and every comment, so kindly please mail to : Jayaditya@igadgetsworld.com with subject line: “Nvidia Graphics driver compatibility issues” and add relevant images + proper description of your problem, he will get back to you in less than 24 Hours.
Step 1:
1) Get your device ID: click on CONTROL PANEL, then CLICK on SYSTEM, then CLICK on DEVICE MANAGER
2) Under Other Devices/ (or if your video card already has a driver under Display Adapter) click on Video Adapter
3) Click on Details, Device Instance Id should already be selected
4) You will see something similar to this:PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DE3&SUBSYS_14471043&REV_A1\4&1595E8D4&0&0008
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_20421043&REV_A1\ 4&30DE1BThis single line has all the details about your specific video card maker, chipset and model
VEN_10DE means that the Vendor is 10DE, which is the Vendor ID for NVIDIA
DEV_0DE3 means that the Chipset is 0DE3, which is the Chipset ID for GT635M
SUBSYS_20421043 tells about the Specific Model GT635M in the Asus K55VJ laptop
Step 2:1) When you have tried to install and it showed failed, you must have noticed that the files are extracted to the installation directory. The default directory should be
C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\340.43\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver
2) Locate the INF files there of the type:
nvaa.inf
nvac.inf
nvam.inf
nvao.inf
nvbl.inf and so on.
3) Pick any one of them (I picked nvam.inf) and make a backup copy then open the original in NOTEPAD or your favourite text editor, like Notepad++.4) Now scroll down, until you see this
Scroll down until you see lines like:
[NVIDIA_Devices.NTx86.5.1]
%NVIDIA_DEV.0405.01% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0405&SUBSYS_15D21043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0405.02% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0405&SUBSYS_16341043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.01% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_080117FF
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.02% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_15881043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.03% = Section003, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_16181043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.04% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_16321043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.05% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_17A21043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.06% = Section005, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_3D7B17AA5) Now scroll down to the section that is similar to your chipset / DEV number
[DO IT CAREFULLY]
%NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01% = Section041, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0CB1&SUBSYS_203C1043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15621043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15A21043Step 3 [MOST IMPORTANT]:1) Take a look at this pattern. You will make a DEVICE ID for your Video Adapter and insert it here
Step 4:
The first part is the same for everyone:
%NVIDIA_DEV
My DEV is 0DE3, so my device id so far is:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01%
NOTE: If there is already DEVs same as yours then your line will be the next increment i.e.
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.02%, or %NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.03%
2) For the section just make it the same as the section where you’re inserting it so I have:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042,
3) The next part is the same for everyone so you will have:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_
4) Add the rest (your DEV and SUBSYS numbers) so it matches your DEVICE ID and your finished device ID should look similar to this:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_14471043
5) Insert it, while done it will look like this
%NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01% = Section041, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0CB1&SUBSYS_203C1043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_14471043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15621043
6) Now scroll down to the [Strings] section it will look like this:
[Strings]
DiskID1 = “NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP (32 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1″
NVIDIA = “NVIDIA”
NVIDIA_DEV.0405.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS”
NVIDIA_DEV.0405.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT”
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.03 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.05 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.06 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
7) Same as before add a line in for your Video card:
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT635M – MKVs INF MOD”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NOTE: If there is already DEVs same as yours then your line will be the next increment i.e.
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT635M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DD1.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M – KAPs INF MOD”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “1) Save the file.
2) Now run setup.exe from the installation directory, and this time you should be able to successfully install the Nvidia driver.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN THE DOWNALOADED SETUP FILE. IT WILL OVER WRITE EVERYTHING IF YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR.
3) Install the driver, and once it has been installed just restart your laptop and you are ready to play high

Hello Lawrence,
1- What's the brand of the graphic board?
2- Do you know the part number (P/N)?
3- What OS is installed?
Perhaps you can find the manufacturer with HWINFO32 or 64 (use the portable version - no installation).

Installed DriverRecommended
UpdateGeForce GT 240M -- The manufacturer of this system requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.
The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.

%NVIDIA_DEV.0405.02% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0405&SUBSYS_16341043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.01% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_080117FF
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.02% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_15881043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.03% = Section003, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_16181043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.04% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_16321043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.05% = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_17A21043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0407.06% = Section005, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_3D7B17AA5) Now scroll down to the section that is similar to your chipset / DEV number
[DO IT CAREFULLY]
%NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01% = Section041, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0CB1&SUBSYS_203C1043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15621043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15A21043Step 3 [MOST IMPORTANT]:1) Take a look at this pattern. You will make a DEVICE ID for your Video Adapter and insert it here
Step 4:
The first part is the same for everyone:
%NVIDIA_DEV
My DEV is 0DE3, so my device id so far is:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01%
NOTE: If there is already DEVs same as yours then your line will be the next increment i.e.
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.02%, or %NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.03%
2) For the section just make it the same as the section where you’re inserting it so I have:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042,
3) The next part is the same for everyone so you will have:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_
4) Add the rest (your DEV and SUBSYS numbers) so it matches your DEVICE ID and your finished device ID should look similar to this:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_14471043
5) Insert it, while done it will look like this
%NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01% = Section041, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0CB1&SUBSYS_203C1043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DD1&SUBSYS_14471043
%NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02% = Section042, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DEE&SUBSYS_15621043
6) Now scroll down to the [Strings] section it will look like this:
[Strings]
DiskID1 = “NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP (32 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1″
NVIDIA = “NVIDIA”
NVIDIA_DEV.0405.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS”
NVIDIA_DEV.0405.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT”
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.03 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.05 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
NVIDIA_DEV.0407.06 = “NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT “
7) Same as before add a line in for your Video card:
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT635M – MKVs INF MOD”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NOTE: If there is already DEVs same as yours then your line will be the next increment i.e.
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DE3.01 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT635M”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DD1.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M – KAPs INF MOD”
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.02 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “
NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.04 = “NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M “1) Save the file.
2) Now run setup.exe from the installation directory, and this time you should be able to successfully install the Nvidia driver.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN THE DOWNALOADED SETUP FILE. IT WILL OVER WRITE EVERYTHING IF YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR.
3) Install the driver, and once it has been installed just restart your laptop and you are ready to play high
