M6600 Owners Thread

You could try a patched driver from laptopvideo2go.
31x Series GeForce Driver release - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

 

I have win7 pro 64bits,-which version I should to download? I see only for Xp and win8.

I have downloaded for xp, 64bits but when I am trying to install it I get message:
The folder you specified does not contain compatible software driver for your device. If it contains the driver make sure it is designed to work with win64 bits based systems.

 

v310.70 Windows 8 64bit | NVIDIA Mobile OEM - 31x Series GeForce Driver release - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

You can this driver use for Win7 64bit.
Dont forget to download the modded inf and replace it! (This means replace the inf file in the unpacked driver package)


Also check the DEV ID

There exists 4 different DEV ID versions for the K4000M.

 

But in inf modified there is no information about K4000M. There is only Nvidia K4000. Is it the same?

 

If I want to add new hardware, Device manager-Action-Add Legacy Hardware -Install the Hardware I manually select from List -Display Adapter-Have Disk-nvwi.inf (new inf file)
In the Model list there is no list- empty space

When i want to update driver
Device manager- Standard VGA Graphic Driver -Properties -Update Driver -browse Computer for driver-Let me pick from a list of devices-Have Disk- pointing to new inf file
Field "Show Compatible hardware" is marked -it displays Nwidia Quadro 4100M
When I unmark filed "Show Compatible hardware" -and I chose from the new list K4000M (it is displayed 4 times)
I get message:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempted to install it."
and below
The driver selected for this device does not support thsi version of Windows"

K4000 == Desktop, K4000M == Mobile... you can google this things...

Try this "older" version.
v310.54 Windows 8 64bit | NVIDIA Mobile OEM - 31x Series GeForce Driver release - LaptopVideo2Go Forums
Here the inf contains the K4000M entry.

Dont forget, replace inf in "Display.Driver" folder and run setup.

If it fails again, look for other versions in the laptopvideo2go forum.

 

When I am using drivers from your last link:
during running setup it detects Nvidia Card (before it was not detecting it), starts to install, install it with success, wants to reboot.
After rebooting: there is only one video adapter- Intel HD, there is no K4000M
If I want to refresh devices the Device manager hangs up, the same is when i want to shut down the system-it hangs up.
When I force rebooting I can start the system in Safe Mode
But If I start windows in Safe Mode I see both cards: Intel HD and Nvidia K4000M
When I remove K4000M in safe Mode and I reboot win7 I again get control on Device Manager -it not hangs up this time.

Should I try other older drivers?

 

Ok, you on the right path...
Next step, use the "older" inf with the latest driver (the driver where the inf was wrong).

I hope, you do this procedure on a fresh OS setup!? If not, you run into wasting-time hell ;-)

You should know, to run the new Flagship KxxxM on an "older" platform (M6600) is an BIG critical task ;-)
I think there exists amount of requirements on HW-components that must support misc. functions.
It begins on the BIOS firmware and ends at the chipsets on the mainboards.

You could try to setup an Linux Ubuntu or an Windows 8...

Now my ideas "running out of gas"...

Good luck!

Second Edit:
i forget to say: You should also have the latest Intel chipset and Intel HD drivers installed...

 

SchroedingersCat, I managed to install it !!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT HELP
But it works correctly when I turn off Nvidia Optimus. In such case the card is working correctly without any problems.
I do not need Optimus so it is not a problem to keep it turned off.
I started to do some test: (standard settings)
3D mark06: 3dmarks 20721 , (8561, 9176, 6048)
3D Mark11: Score 3940 (graphic 3755, physics 6902, combined 3904)

 

Ok, congratulations...

Let us know, if the M6600 is taking off and burning out ;-) (Joke)
