Having trouble installing any and all Nvidia drivers.
I've seen this problem all over the internet, and after a day or two of following every step I've seen on this forum and others, I'm still standing at a giant brick wall.
Here's my problem. Yesterday I went to the nvidia website and did a scan for a graphics driver update on my integrated Geforce 6150se nforce 430. After downloading and attempting to install the new driver, it failed at around the 1/6-1/7th mark on the install. I googled the issues, finding quite a few people with similar/the same problems, so I tried following the advice given to them. I've tried uninstalling my current driver in device manager, rebooting, then installing; that didn't work. I've also tried uninstalling, rebooting, then manually updating in device manager. In one thread I lurked, the OP was told to download a driver sweeper, but the driver sweeper he was linked to is now discontinued, so I suppose I'm out of luck there. After attempting all of that a dozen or so times, I thought maybe the driver (301.42) just wouldn't work on my comptuer for some odd reason, so I went to the HP website, since I have an old Pavilion, to try and install my old, original driver. Neither of the possible methods worked on that either, so I'm duped.
