And I am holding very heavy hammers above my pc, ready to fix it how master fixes everything... Help?  |
1) Are you disconnecting your network connection while updating so that Windows can't download what drivers it pleases because (horrors!) you don't have video drivers for a brief time?
2) Are you using Safemode to do the uninstall?
3) Are you using Driver Cleaner to remove all the various bits that the general uninstaller leaves behind?
