Removed GeForce FX5200 drivers keep reinstalling itself

Dec 15th, 2004

I'm having problems changing the drivers for the FX5200. When I remove the drivers and nvidia from the device manager then use drivercleaner and cab cleaner, reboot in safe mode the nvidia drivers have reinstalled themselves...where is this back-up copy coming from that keeps reinstalling itself??????? BTW I am not connected to the net during this process. Using xppro

Thanks,

No worries mate

Go to http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/ and download that program. Follow the directions under the help menu in the program. Follow them exactly, even if they seem silly...the guy that wrote this has an entire community testing these things out for him...trust what he says. IF you follow the directions completely, you'll be set with no drivers installed!

Let me know how it goes :p
