DeadlyTwilight: your nvidia problem

Okay, trying to get the troubleshooting out of a sticky thread so that the Sticky doesn't get clogged up with "what's the most recent information?" and a long line of derailment.

Deadly Twilight: If I am understanding your issue correctly, everytime you install the Nvidia Drivers from the Nvidia website :: www.nvidia.com :: and then restart the computer... Windows automatically installs Drivers from either Windows Update or previous versions stored on the hard-drive?

If thats true its because the drivers your trying to install arent compatible. I had the same issue when I tried to use a new driver as a substitute because they stopped making new ones for my 3d card years ago
