nvidia quadro drivers new update failure

[Thee Rickster ™]

I installed the newest nvidia drivers for my quadro fx 1500 this morning and windows would not let the driver install.

 

Basically windoiws is protecting the nv4_disp.dll in the main sys32 folder from being over written or

delete. (acording to the event viewer.)

 

manually deleting it and refresh folder it comes right back,

 

now I cannot get my drivers install new or old.

BTW,I am administrator of this p.c.

 

Is any body else having this issue and know of

a fix for this?

 

Any help will be greatly appriciated

 

Cheers

I had an IT guy from our outsource tring everything he could find on nvidia forums etc.

 

The only solution w2as system restore.

We use Driver Sweeper from Guru 3D

Hey Rick,

 

I've had similar problems and started using a utility to *completely* clean my system of older drivers before installing any new ones.

 

Check out DriverSweeper it works well for me.

 

If your system came with an nvidia card, then there are drivers in cab files that get replaced when the system thinks they were accidentally removed. My version of DriverSweeper can actually remove these from the cab files...preventing Windows from replacing them on restart.

 

Good Luck!

Do they remove all the .dll's in the system 32 folder including the 'cache' folder?

Don't worry rick, that's a feature in windows!
