    Ok thanks Steve I might just do that because the experience is really of not much use to me and the updates are for gaming mainly something I cannot do very well at the moment.

    Nvidia Folder


    My computer was upgraded from native Vista OS to Windows 7 Ultimate x64. In the Nvidia folder on the C drive there is no folder named "Display Drivers". The only subfolder is named WinVista.

    sorry, I can't help with that. It's a new one on me. I skipped Vista. But the new drivers you install, make sure they Install to C:/Nvidia/Display Drivers. That should be the default location it installs to. If there is no Display Drivers folder, it should create one. When you install make sure to use custom Install and make sure the 'clean Install' box is checked.

    I really don't know why you would need the WinVista folder any more, but I don't know what it is or what's in it.

    I've got a Nvidia Corporation folder in both my Program Files and Program Files (x86), which one do I go to?

    Hello Lilium perhaps I have missed something somewhere but just what is it you are wanting to do with the NVidia??

    I'm trying to follow the steps to avoid Nvidia Driver issues, and they say to go into the Nvidia folder in the C: folder and delete all the numbered folders within Display Drivers, but there is no Nvidia folder on my computer. There's just the Nvidia Corporations folders in both Programs and Programs (x86) and neither of them have a folder that says Display Drivers or any numbered folders.

    Hello Lilium, :)

    If you mean at step 2, then that would only be for a "NVIDIA" folder in the root directory of your "C" drive. This is where NVIDIA stores all the driver setup files when installing the driver. The mentioned numbers are just folders named with the driver version inside this NVIDIA folder.

    They're really not needed when wanting to do a clean install of a newer driver version.

    Uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers from "Programs and Features" (steps 6-8) will remove it from the Program Files folders.

    Hi,
    Yes Computer/ C drive/ NVidia folder holds the prior versions uninstalled or replaced when installing a new
    Mostly it leaves them so one can roll back a driver through the devices properties/ device manager..
    This tutorial advices to delete the older folders.
