Without it, your screen image may appear shifted to one side of your display. To fix the screen image temporarily, change the screen resolution using the Monitors control panel or the Monitor Resolution portion of the Control Strip. Then run the Update installer to install the new extensions.
The GeForce Graphics Card Update installs new graphics card firmware and Mac OS 9 system extensions to improve performance and compatibility, according to Apple. The new firmware also fixes a compatibility problem with newer versions of the Nvidia system extensions.
The firmware on your graphics card will be updated only if an older version is detected. During the firmware update, your display will dim or go dark for 10 to 15 seconds, then reappear, Apple said.
