NVIDIA Startup Message Problem
I recently downloaded the most recent NVIDIA driver for my 8250’s GeForce4 MX 420 w/TV Out (XP Home w/SP 1). I very closely followed the instructions on this site for uninstall, driver cleaner, and install. Everything seems to be operating OK except for one persistent problem. Every time I start or restart, before I can get to the desktop, I get the following message on an NVIDIA screen background:
Previous Drivers Found
A previous driver has been detected. To ensure proper installation of the new graphics driver, it is necessary to uninstall the current driver.
After the system restarts, the installation of the new graphics driver will begin automatically.
Etc. etc. etc.
Click Yes to uninstall or No to exit Setup.
Yes No
No matter what I do, I always get the above message before I can get to my desktop. Any suggestions on why this happens and how can I eliminate it before I can access my desktop?
I'm new to this forum. Many thanks in advance for your help… dabronxboy

Hi Ngiax,
Many thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, the directions you suggested are the exact ones I used to download the new NVIDIA driver. I even went through the process a few times, but still get that mysterious message before I can get to my desktop.
Thanks again... maybe I'm just doomed to live with the message every time I boot up.
Sincerely... dabronxboy

Perhaps you could roll back to the old driver, and then do the driver cleanup again?
