Default New 45.23 Installation

Could anyone help me out? I just instaled the new 45.23 drivers on my
computer. My card is a NVIDIA Geforce 3, with 64 mb RAM. I have WinXP with
an Inte Pentium 4 processor at 1.75 GHZ. Everything installed fine, exept
when I check the driver properties in Device Manager. There, it states the
driver is version 43.51. When I attept to update the driver to the 45.23
version, I get an error message that states there was an error in
installation, the parameter is incorrect. At that point, it aborts the
update.

Anyone know why this is happeniong, and if there is a solution?
Thanks for any help you may provide!

Bob

What you should do first before trying to install the new drivers is to
uninstall the old ones first.

Simple, *DON'T* use that retarded "install" routine in nVidia's driver
sets. I never have and never will as I've seen this problem happen
with people before. Just extract all of the files into a new
directory and then manually select Update Driver from the Device
Manager and point it to the directory you extracted the files to. It
will definitely take the new drivers then.

Simple. Always uninstall existing display drivers from Add/Remove programs
control panel, before installing new ones.

I've tried all your suggestions, and still I get the "parameter is
incorrect" error. I have had to resort to System Restore to get everything
back the way it was.
Any other ideas?
