New Drivers 3.13 - Is Uninstall required before applying 3.13
The following is from the download page:
If you are performing an uninstall of your current nForce drivers, your system will have to re-enumerate all devices and restart prior to install of your new package. Multiple restarts may be required; please comply with all instructions to reboot. Failure to do so may cause the install to fail the installation of needed components resulting in system reliability issues. Is there any reason to uninstall the old drivers rather than install over them? |

Yep, I had to de install the 2.45 drivers and then it began the 3.13
installation. The deiinstallation of the old Gart driver locked up and I had to boot to safe mode in XP to remove it....what a pain but the computer is working again. Now to see if anything is improved over the 2.45's. This will probably be my last Nvidea product since they just cannot seem to get driver installation right! Asus A7n8 dlx v2 with ATI 9700 Pro |

hi
im running an A7N8X deluxe v2.0 board with 1007 and a radeon 9600 pro. ive heard many a post to uninstall the nvidia drivers use a nvidia driver removal tool etc. also ive read that ati drivers should be uninstalled. i simply installed over my exisiting nvidia drivers. all is well with the mobo and the vid card. one thing to remeber is to disable antivirus programs and other programs running in the background.

Yep. Over install worked besf for me. Originally I removed the 2.45 then
installed the 3.13. The result was a mess. I reinstalled 2.45, then I over installed 3.13 very smoothly. "stanmc" wrote in message y.com...

Is there any reason to uninstall the old drivers rather than install over them? Did an install over 2.45. When I finished I went to Windows Explorer and compared the directory for 2.45 against the directory for 3.13. New driver had one less sub-directory. The USB sub-directory was missing. However, all seems to be working well so in a week I'm going to eliminate all of the 2.45 files in C:\nvidia\...\2.45 to save approx 28.1MB. Thanks for the comments! |
