Many of us have installed the driver without any problems. You did not
mention which operating system you were using so if you are using Windows XP
or Windows ME then try a system restore point prior to the problem in
question. You can initialize a restore point from the safe mode. Generally
speaking drivers do not cause this problem but rather a conflict with a
program running in the background is to blame, ( which interfered with the
installation of the driver).

Installed 52.16 in an attempt to get AA working for Halo Trial.

After reboot, PC freezes up when NVIDIA taskbar icon is clicked on.

Also dialog with message "Catastrophic Failure" presented when
attempting to view GeForce configuration.

I uninstall the driver and try installing again.

This time, PC freezes up a few seconds after booting.

Boot in safe mode, remove driver.

Install old driver version (41.09).

Driver *does not install*. No error given.

After some experimentation, it seems the .inf file has an error "section
missing" when used. The installer appears to silently discard this
error.

After some *hours*, it now appears that no driver can be installed.

I'm pretty much out of ideas, so I'll be reverting to my Norton Ghost
image.

I'm *not* pleased.

Installing the latest video driver should not **** my PC up, waste a day
of my time and require me to revert to a backup.

To make the point, my next video card purchase will be from ATI.
