How to fix NVIDIA installer Errors(is not compatible and could not find compatible graphics). 

DARN THANKS A LOT MAN IVE BEEN PRYING THROUGH THE INTERNET FOR WEEKS TRYING TO FIND A FIX. YOU JUST SAVED MY QUARANTINE. Enormous thanks from the Philippines!

Tried it today and it worked! Haven’t updated my driver in like a year. Thanks so much.

This fix saved my life. I was trying to fix this issue for 2 years. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCCCHHHH :)))))))))

how can you even find your nvidia graphics card in device manager if the nvidia installer said "could not find compatible graphics hardware" meaning the nvidia installer is not detecting the hardware and not even installed yet.

Dude... you are literally my hero. I've spent the past 3 weeks seeing my gaming laptop crash again and again, because of display driver issues. I've tried so many methods going through countless articles online with methods on how to fix this and yours worked flawlessly. Thank you so much mate!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been working tirelessly for hours on end to try and fix this, and this video solved my problem! Thank you so much!

Thank you. Tried a number of solutions after using DDU left me unable to install the driver I needed. This was the only one that worked - thanks again!

I have literally searched for days on how to fix this problem and you were the only one that actually helped thank you so much

I have been searching for a solution to this problem for weeks and finally came across yours. Not sure how you figured this out but it worked. Very impressive!!!! One thing I might mention is after the final reboot my graphics adapter was not detected properly. So I went into Device Manager, removed it, and had it rediscovered. Then all started working with the correct adapter.

This worked. Thank you. Not everything on my computer was exactly as the video... I only had one line to change instead of three... a few other things. I would encourage people to use their brains and make a few educated guesses along the way... you will be rewarded.

I have a Malibal from 2014 with an 870m (really solid card). I've been stuck on drivers from 2015 because the Nvidia installer would not recognize my video card and wouldn't let me proceed to install the driver. It's been driving me crazy for a couple years, and this video actually fixed it for me. Amazing! Side note: To disable driver signing for Windows 7 you need to actually download GPedit unless you have Pro 7 and up. Googling "how to disable driver signing Windows 7" will yield the information you need, which will involve actually downloading GPedit if you're using Windows 7 Home. It works though, 100% worth the effort.,

Man. I've spend all my saturday evening trying to fix this and your solution worked for me after dozens of videos. Hopefully this will result into solving my PUBG crashing issue on most matches. Thanks a lot !

Hey, Just gotta say, this is the second time you've helped me with this issue. Thank you.

I have this issue in my Alienware laptop, and this worked perfectly, thank you.

Thanks! I've done this before but still forgot about it. Glad you have this on your channel. Subscribed.

Wow, thank you for this video. I’ve been scouring google for help but couldn’t find anything that worked. This video was the only one that did and it was simple enough. Been stuck with old drivers for a long time. Big thanks and you earned a sub!

thank you so muchh this finally worked after almost 1 year of searching

It bloody worked, it miraculously worked! Thanks, even going through hundreds upon hundreds of Nvidia forum posts or Reddit posts didn't help, but this did the bloody job.

Dude, thank you very much, I've been trying for the last 2 years to fix this problem and nothing but you managed to help me and thank you very much.

Thank you my boy. I was on chat with nvidia support for like 5 hours and they didn't do jack squat. You're beautiful man

This helped fix a problem for me on 12/4/2019, thank you for posting!

I freakinnnnng love you it did work i had this problem over 2 years and had no clue how to resolve it Thank you so much

Man Ive been trying fix this for 2 years almost... THANKS A LOTTT MANN!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR MANY HOURS TO FIND A FIX!!!

This helped with my issue on 11/19/2020. There is only one bar that you will change instead of three, now. I was so relieved to see that it actually worked, I almost cried. I spent five hours today trying to fix this and this video fixed it in less than five minutes. If you don’t have the file for NVIDIA in your device manager, make sure you have windows updated.

Thank you sooooo much bro,you save my life 💜💜💜💜💜 04/11/2019 Works

This has worked for me (as of 11/10/2020) Thank you so much! Wanted to give my old laptop to my girlfriend but all the games were in shitty graphics because the pc wasn't using nVidia because of me not being able to install the proper driver. Thanks a lot!

Thanks dude. This was the only way to fix i could find on the internet. At least for the error "this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I installed the version 397.31. I tried most recent drivers but they gave the error "this nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows". It didnt resolve in this case cause this error didnt create a folder so theres no nvaci.inf to edit. Anyway, thank you sooo much. Working 25/03/2020

Thank you so much for the video. I just got installed Nvidia GeForce GT 730 and the drivers were just not getting installed. Contacted the Adobe support as well as Microsoft. Both were NOT able to resolve the issue! Shame on them.

As of 10/26/2019 this solution WORKS!!! Thank you!

OMG thank you so much!!! you're such a legend. I was this close to throwing my whole laptop down the drain. Seriously... thank you :')

Dude thanks very much, ive been trying to fix this for a year or so . You have got a new subscriber

amazing, it worked :)

I dont understand... when you make copy of nvidia folder. And afterwards u run the old setup.exe. Im having the error come up everytime i try to install the new driver. Ofcourse there’s 0 problems when u reinstall ur previous driver lol..

Thank you! This helped me a lot. This worked for me on 2/12/20 (Feb 2 2020).

The only method that works in the entire interwebs. Thanks!

When i run the GeForce experience the same problem come again

When I right click display adapters, it says Intel(R) HD Graphics 620. I followed all of your steps up until this point. Any suggestions?

Hey, thanks a lot! Just picked up a GTX 660, but when I tried installing the driver, it said my version wasn't compatible. Went through your steps, and it's all good now. Appreciate it!

It worked for me right now. Ive been trying to fix the issue for 9 days and i finally saw this video on how to fix it thank you so much!!!

Dude, you saved my life. You're literally the only person who could solve my issue Upd. I just checked, nope didn't solve the issue

Nvidia installer failed for me after starting installation.. how to fix this sir?

This frikin worked!!! Thanks! Worked for my gtx 1650. 18/03/20 and still works. Cheers

Thanks.... this is the most progress I've made on this issue in HOURS!

When you open device manager. It dosent even come up with my nvidia graphics card. It comes up with intel

What does it mean if I can’t find nvaci.inf

It really worked wtf i love u man

Thanks. Fixed my issue. Had another section in the inf file that yours didn't have. Just copied the id on the 1st line, same as the others. Up & running now. Not a simple fix. Seems strange that Nvidia would allow this bug to continue happening for years (saw posts of this is 2018). Was expecting audio, but just the visual was OK. Really appreciate the fix! Thanks again.

Works with latest drivers in March 2020, Thank you so much

It works!!! Thank you so much. I followed your all your steps and I had an extra id to replace with the copied id from the device manager. My laptop is MSI GF75 win10 64 bit with nVidia GTX 1660 Ti. The original driver was 442.23 and I needed to update to 457.30 to accomodate CUDA 11.8.

Worked perfectly for me (March 2020) , i was getting rly worried about this. Thanks so so much!

Man idk how to thank you enough. Lemme do this thing. Subbed,liked,notif on and everything. Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks buddy. Life saver

Man you literally saved me I tried everything, this is the only one that works, tysm!

It is still working on 8/8/2021! Thank god you are my hero!

GOD DAMN !!!! The only tutorial that actually worked. bless u

dude you are the best keep up my man! hope you go somewhere far

Yay it worked, after hours of fixing this issue. This happened because of the 1903 update. The 1st issue was my connection 2nd my gpu. Pc can't detect GeForce 730 but it shows something like VGA compatible. Now after watching this I only changed 1 path in the notepad. After rebooting my pc detected 840m? Which is weird but I updated my gpu now it's back to normal. This guide is really helpful!

You're a genius bruv. I posted an appreciative comment long time ago but i guess due to new YT TOS it has been nuked. Probably the only solution to this problem that works. I love you bruv

2022 now and its still working, tysm you are my life saver

Been up all night trying to finally solve the problem ive been facing for over a YEAR now. Watching that final install very much expected this to fail. If this actually worked TY SO MUCH. Literally couldnt update my driver that whole time. Shame on you NVIDIA never going down that road again.........

I have no idea how u figure this out but I'm glad u did thanks so much!

Bro i have been worried about it for so long. Thank you very much. When you were replacing 'nvida_devices.......'. You had to do it 3 times. When i did i had to do it only once. Idk why. Bro but thank you so much. It helped a lot

Oh ,I can't tell you guys this the best RU-vid videos ever thanks sir long life with prosperity god bless you so helpful and 100% working

When I try to install nvidia setup after extraction from the downloaded setup. It says error":\setup.exe" failed during execution the operation was completed successfully how can I fix this ?I have downloaded the correct version for my driver yet I get that message what can I do?

Worked perfectly.. but I didn't have to paste the ID so many times. Just once in fact. Thanks so much

Installed the current version of NVIDIA (as of 04/11/2020) and it was not compatible on my PC. Followed your instructions though I did some tweaking and wasn't really sure if I was doing the right. Did some tweaking in updating the notepad file because I couldn't find the exact path as noted on your instructions. I only updated one path but it worked!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

It worked!! Thx man :D it solved the problem on win 1909 2020

Super useful and easy to follow thanks dude!

This worked like a charm, thank you very much also i just did the first step, no need at least for me for all the others.

You are awesome dude.! I was tired from several days you finally gave me something useful Thanks buddy😍❣❣❤❤

Worked eazy. Thanks! Will it update the drivers in the future?

Ho my goodness THANK YOU!! VERY MUCH THANKS TO YOU!!

hi, thanks man, it works. this is the problem i found, 1st i cant find the nvidia folders, the solution is don't close the istaller first, just follow the step on video, if you skip it, it wont appear. 2nd was i cant find the nvaci.inf, the solutions is i deleted manually the nvdia folder from C (copy it first on desktop) and the files that cant be deleted just skip it. 3rd was on the video there are 3 times you will paste the file in nvaci.inf, on mine there is just one, so i just copy once and it works. the entire just follow the step on the video. i hope this will help others that facing a same problem like me. again, thanks man.

Thank You ! works like a charm
