Cannot uninstall default Vista driver
Did a clean reinstall of Vista 32 bit and ran Windows update which installed
a digitally signed driver on my Gainward 7900GT. It gives acceptable performance in 3D Mark 2006 but not as fast as I have had with drivers downloaded directly from NVidia. When I tried to install the latest driver from NVidia 158.24 Vista won't let me and keeps it own driver. Anyone know a solution? |

Cannot uninstall default Vista driver
Same here, with Vista 64 bit and a XFX 7900GS, Forceware doesn't install &
tells you that it hasn't made any changes. Forceware 158.18 installs O.K through, posted the problem at the Nvidia UK Vista Quality Assurance page, but that page is blank now, http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/vista...urance_uk.html Go to the Nvidia Uk download site, search for the driver, then change the ..24 part of the address to .18 (It's also an WHQL Driver) Steve.

Cannot uninstall default Vista driver
Are you trying to install the International 158.24 driver? If so, there is a
problem with this file that prevents installation, Try the US version instead, it does not have that problem. Mike "Mick" wrote in message ...

Thanks everyone for their replies. Mike I am using the International version and will try first the UK version and if that does not work the US version. Stephen do you use 64 bit for gaming and if so is it better than 32-bit? |

Stephen do you use 64 bit for gaming and if so is it better than 32-bit? Yep, i do use it for Gaming, but I've only played 2 Games on it so far, Got about 12 Games & demo's installed, Seems to more Stable than my old PC under XP, and the Games that I've played on Both PC's are a lot faster now, higher detail settings etc, But Haven't tried 32 bit Vista, so don't know the difference. Steve. Old PC: Asus A7N8X Dlx, XP3200, 1 Gig Corsair PC3200 Cl2, Nvidia 6600GT, XP Pro. New PC: Asus P5N-E SLI, E6600, 3 Gig Corsair PC6400 CL4, Nvidia 7900GS, Vista Premium 64bit. |
