manpe Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Why not the latest? Are you using 190.38? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted September 19, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 19, 2009 First uninstall drivers and then try reinstallin. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 First uninstall drivers and then try reinstallin. ;)Tried it now, I don't even see the Control Panel anymore. It just isn't there.. And when I try to install it from the nvidia installation directory, it says it couldn't find the right driver for it (although it's installed). I suspect the last CP was left there by an older version of the driver, and the new version is not that good (probs the reason why kotaxor doesn't use it, right?). Maybe I should try the previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 How old is your system? If it is pre-Vista/7 it is possible that the drivers may not be compatible with other system resources...Keep in mind I may be out of my range here with suggestions for 7 because I don't have it yet..BUTHyperion Pro Drivers do the same thing for me and have since version 5.17.. ( currently 5.24a ).. The first thing I would suggest is if there is way to un-install the driver package completely and go with what was originally installed for drivers when you installed the OS first.. Then clean any settings or files that were installed, remove any previous installers... registry entries if possible. Then reboot.. and re-install the package.. IF that doesn't work I would look for the driver version that Kotaxor has and try that..If I remember right NVidia uses a system service(s) and startup entries to put the control panel in the taskbar.. so anything that my locking these areas ( including the drivers ) may also inhibit the install from going as planned..( Like HIPS, or Security Policy .. Adminstrative Rights )You might also want to try to stick with driver updates from MS as well..If I knew more about your system and was more comfortable with it, I may also suggest going in and removing the driver files, these have to be removed n the correct manner or you may wind up with some booting issues..I am willing to bet though, that your system just became previous generation..

manpe Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Try this here.Cheers ;)I appreciate it, but the post was made back in 2006 and the program, Driver Cleaner Pro, has been stopped developing and is very old... I don't want to test it on a 2009 driver. Especially seeing some posters seem to say it screwed up their Windows and that it's unnecessary.@Heath - I am running the version Kotaxor does. I downgraded yesterday (uninstalled through device manager and installed the older one). I can't find the CP anywhere.EDIT: I got the CP by randomly testing different ways to install it. I updated the driver via device manager selecting the extracted folder of the newest driver and it did its job, although at the end it gave me an error that the installation had timed out.. but the CP seems to be working.
