Where did you install the two folders with the drivers? Perhaps try manually deleting those folders with the files, then try deleting one with the add/remove feature. If it doesn't come back, remove the other and redownload (or install from the CD) the drivers. I can't guarantee sucess, but perhaps it's worth a try (I've done this with success, but never with drivers). Perhaps someone more experienced with video drivers would know a better alternative.

I might be incorrect here, but I thought that you COULD remove ALL of the nvidia drivers in "Add/Remove Programs" if you wanted too??   Try it.  I believe that your computer would still display video without them, just very basic...  then, for a clean start, download and run Driver Cleaner:

When you run it, you have to select "nVidia" drivers, etc.  THEN re-try downloading and installing the nvidia driver again.

Thanks for the link! It worked like a charm. I had some loose files still kicking around I guess, and they were preventing me from making a clean install.

I was actually calling MYSELF a newbie there (I'm not ashamed)... i.e., a newbie helping a newbie!  :smileywink:
I'm happy to help with the workload, as others have been quite helpful to me.

After you are thru patting yourself on the back there are several hundred more.

I just tell them something just for fun to see if they will do it.
