Oh, Mike, if this works I surely will bless you. I've been fooling around
with this HP Pavilion ZD7000 laptop for months and no matter what I do,
video intercept just will not install.
From what I see, I have 3 display drivers listed and the latest one is the
default. Still no go!
I'm so sick and tired trying to get this thing to work and I hate to get rid
of this computer even though it isn't the latest and greatest because it has
always served me well. I had a very knowledgeable person working on it when
I had a problem with it and when it came back the video intercept would not
install.
I hope I understand your directions well enough to try your solution.
Any more tips will be great!
I'll let you know how I make out when I do the job.
Arianna

Hi Arianna;
It sounds like you are having the same problem that I had in trying to
update the NVIDIA video card. I tried to update with the update titled "
197.75...". When I tried to run this update it wouldn't install to the
folder all the past updates would install to, and wanted for me to choose
where to install the update to. I tried routing the update to the NVIDIA
folder in Program Files where all the other updates went but, without any
luck. Long story short, trying to run this particular update screwed up
my
computer and I had to have a technician fix both of my computers. You
see,
I wasn't happy screwing up just 1 computer, I had to screw up both of them
to feel satisfied! LOL Possibly you can do a system restore and get back
to where you were before you tried to update. Was there any particular
reason for trying to update? I always tried to keep my video card updated
until this last fiasco and I will never try to update the video card
again!
If you are wanting to install the video intercept and are running Jaws10
and
up, I have always had to remove the Freedom Scientific admin tool through
add & remove programs in the control panel first, then run the FS video
intercept32 bit.exe that you have downloaded and saved beforehand. The
direct download link is below.
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/Tools/FSVideoIntercept-32bit.exe
Now, I must say that this is the way that I have gotten around the video
intercept not wanting to install after updating my video card using Jaws10
latest. Others might disagree but, as I said, this is the only way I
could
get the video intercept to install. If you have any more questions that I
might be able to help regarding this issue feel free to contact me off
list.
I hope that some or all of what I have said can be some help. Take care.
Mike

Hi Arianna,
When you are going thru the install, the files should have a default path,
which can be changed if you wish to do so.
The default will probably be on the C drive, and have a name such as,
cabs,
or NVidia.
In the install dialogue, the file path should be given, and the next tab
should be a browse button.
If this is the case, just let it install where it is set to, noting that
location, and when that process is complete, go to the specified folder,
and
run the setup.exe.
As Jacob said, these packages do vary, so you will have to proceed with
extracting the files, and
follow the prompts, and let us know if you need more help.
HTH,
Rick Justice

But which directory should these files go into?
When I tried to go through the installation process it wanted to know
where the files should be placed. I had no clue.

Generally that would carry out a real install process, copying files
where needed, and notifying the operating system about them etc., so,
yes.
Stay well

So, Jacob, Can I just install this driver from the .exe file? I assume
it will know where to place the driver?

If you go here, you'll then need to select which version of that
model,
and then you will hopefully be taken to the driver download section of
the HP site for the specific model's driver software:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=366373
There's a table on that page with links to specific model versions.

It looks like I need an updated driver for my HP Pavilion ZD7000
laptop in order for it to install video intercept. Yeah, I'm still
trying to work on this problem.
My question is:
Because I can't seem to not only download that driver, but I can't
even find the thing on the HP site. Is it necessary to use an HP
driver and if not, what can I substitute for it and where can I get
what I need?
Thanks for any help here.
Arianna
