| 773426 | 2009-05-13 01:44:00 | Hi im trying to install the new 185.85 drivers from nvidia and i used driver cleaner to remove the previous version. When i install the driver it finishes but when it is completed it says "The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again." Can someone please help me? Also when i tried installing for the first time after removing previous drivers i had to end task because the progress bar was stuck 3/4 of the way for 10 mins. Does this have anything to do with why it isnt working? |

| 773429 | 2009-05-13 02:23:00 | You may have admin rights but its NOT the real Admin account, this could be the problem. click on the start type in cmd right click, run as administrator. In the CMD box type in net user administrator /active:yes once it says command successful - type in exit, reboot the PC, now you will see the real Administrator account, log into that. Rerun the driver cleaner - remove the nVidia graphic Drivers if there. Try the install again. once its all good, to rehide that admin account, same command as above but /active:no |

| 773433 | 2009-05-13 09:40:00 | I don't know how comfortable you are editing your registry. You may need to dive in there and manually remove any traces of Nvidia Corporation folders. Did you use an uninstaller such as Ashampoo (there are other brands) before you tried to install your new drivers? Always a good idea. The Windows add/remove utility doesn't cut it in the squeaky-clean department. If you do decide to edit the registry, use the free ERUNT registry backup utility to take a snapshot so if you screw up, you can get back to your previous state. Registry Workshop is a much more efficient reg editor than regedit - it will find all your Nvidia keys and folders in one hit. Don't delete the protected Nvidia legacy files. Cheers |

It did because i just downloaded the old driver (182.50) and it works. But the 185.85 drivers dont for some reason This is almightynugget i used another account by accident :eek: |
