    Cannot install any drivers, may be registry corruption


    2 days ago i went to upgrade my video driver for my graphics card and it will not let me install it. The installer opens and starts to install, gets to about 10% and says Failed to install. i also tried doing a clean install of the new driver and it gives me the same error. so i now have no video card driver installed. i have no restore points so im trying to fix this without having to do a fresh install of windows.

    Im not sure if it is the cause but a few weeks ago i installed a program called "Speed up PC" (link from testmy.com) and it ran a registry scan and cleaned out some old/outdated entries, then a few days later when i rebooted my desktop i could not connect to my wireless router, after some google searching i fixed the problem, i had to edit an entry in the registry and start some services to get the wireless to work again.
    Ive searched around for a few hours now with no results on a fix, and have posted my problem on a few sites, i'm just hoping to get some help here.


    specs on my desktop:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
    BIOS Date: 02/05/10 19:13:52 Ver: 08.00.10
    Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
    Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8096MB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
    please let me know if i need to post any more info

    i have also tried to install some other drivers and they do the same thing, i can start the installation but it fails almost immediately saying the installation has failed, i think it may have to do with the registry.

    i have ran a chkdsk, and memory test, tried disabling malwarebytes, run as admin with no results

    Also run tdsskiller

    TDSSKiller
    No code has to be inserted here.

    Right-click the program and select: Extract to tdsskiller\


    A TDSSKiller folder is found on your Desktop.
    Open the folder, and right-click the TDSSKiller application choose rename and name it iexplore


    When the TDSSKiller console opens, click on: Change Parameters
    Under Additional Options, place a check in the box next to: Detect TDLFS File System
    Click: OK


    Press: Start Scan


    If a suspicious object is detected, the default action is Skip, leave it as is, and click on: Continue
    If malicious objects are found, they show in the Scan results.
    Ensure Cure (the default) is selected, then click: Continue > Reboot now, to finish the cleaning process.
    (Note: If Cure is not available, select Skip, >>Do not select: Delete<<)


    When done, the tool outputs its log to the disk with the Windows Operating System, normally C:\


    Logs have a name like:
    C:\TDSSKiller.X.X.X_12.04.2013_15.31.43_log.txt


    Please post the TDSSKiller log in your reply.
