Hi all....

I'm posting this in 2 places hoping to get a solution....

I cannot install any of the newer NVIDIA updates; WHQL or Beta. None of the 275's will install, no matter what i try to do or how i try to do it. I am currently running on the 259.87 package that came with my graphics card. It's not bad, but i would really like to have the extra functionality that comes with the newest updates.

I have done both an Express and Custom w/clean install and it always fails right at the point that the install gets to the Control Panel part of the installation. I've tried every trick i can find on the web to no avail. I AM the administrator, and I have also tried using the Admin account - with zero luck. I've tried stepping thru the installation with the 260.99 & 270.61 updates and have the same problem over and over.

So, is there a reasonable and logical explanation for all this - along with, one hopes - a reasonable and logical solution? Or is there a ghost in the machine with a bad attitude? NVIDIA swears the newest updates work, and I see folks in this forum saying they do, but I can't figure out why.

Any help out there?
