Hi,
we get the drivers from the official sites and extract the files.How to extract some of those is poorly documented.
Well not these nVidia drivers, they have a readme.txt sugesting they are not the regular installer (there for manual INF search/install)

================================================================================I really think we need an academy.
It is not always clear how to do basic things, and I know I don't know how to extract some of the newer installers.
Our documentation on this is poor.
there is a link to the 6.11 pack
]]>How to extract some of those is poorly documented.
]]>BTW where is it that you guys download the files for the DriverPacks, I notice its not a regular installer its just the INF and other files
]]>I have a old PCI Geforce 5 card and it only works good with the driver v6.14.10.9371
NVidia offers driver from 2002

Well, if you REALLY need it, the oldest I found was the G_A 6.08.1 and 6.12 versions. You can grab them at:
http://driverpacks.mirror.thesneaky.com … 32_6081.7z
http://driverpacks.mirror.thesneaky.com … -32_612.7z
Good luck.
]]>The reason I need it is because I have a old PCI Geforce 5 card and it only works good with the driver v6.14.10.9371, so if anybody had it I would really appreciate it if you extracted the D\G\N\1 folder and uploaded it somewhere
I know its very old and unlikely anybody still has this
ty in advance
