[05:19] Woody_, but it can't detect it [05:19] Woody_, that causes the driver to fail when loading [05:19] mmmm [05:19] Woody_, probably it's damaged or turned off (bios settings?) [05:20] but i use it for Windows XP [05:20] it works normally [05:20] Woody_, pressing OK will send you back to the terminal i guess [05:20] its asking me if i want to install or not [05:21] if i should accept the license agreement or not [05:21] Woody_, try to install [05:21] ok [05:21] i got another error that says: [05:21] Woody_, even if it compiles it, it will fail loading i guess [05:22] No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt a kernel interface for your kernel from the nvidia ftp site?
