    Up dateing nvidia 7600gs drivers
    « on: December 21, 2007, 04:00:10 PM »
    I have followed the so called procedures, i removed all previous drivers with add/remove the used driver cleaner, then Glarysoft registry cleaner, rebooted and tried to install 169.21 forceware winxp 32 and it does most of it before it stops and says can't do it. Now i look in the device manager and it says "other device" so it no longer sees the 7600....  What went wrong? and how do i get it to see the card and accept the new drivers?  and or does this have anything to do with permissions in the registry? I do have administration rights.. What am i doing wrong? I feel like a nubee again and need to be walked through the process. Help please i want to go back to playing my games!!!
     Many thanks for any help....

      What kind of error do you get when installing the driver?

      Another good thing to try would be to re-install the drivers that shipped with the card...when it comes to drivers newer isn't always better...

        I feel stupid and relieved!!  By coming back to this forum and finding my old log-in info i was able to see all my previous ?'s from a year ago which was in dang XP Home registry.
        Turns out my system reverts back to original set up for some reason. But the fix was this.

        registry
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
        SYSTEM
        CurrentControlSet
        Enum
        PCI
        then right click and check full control in order to install property.

         And it works fine.  Just took most of today to figure it out. This time though i am printing it out so i will remember how to do it.
