Trying to update drivers for my BFG Tech Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 1MB card. What I do is go into safe mode, delete the old drivers, then restart to install the new drivers I already have downloaded from the BFG site.
My Windows 7 - 64bit OS doesn't agree with this.
The 1st time I restarted my computer to install the new drivers, Windows 7 decided to not only go to the Microsoft website to find a driver FOR me, but it downloaded it and installed it! So I figured I could find the file it DL'ed, and I thought I did, and deleted it.
Every time I try the basic procedure to install my new drivers though, Windows installs the old driver before the desktop even comes up for me now, and I went so far as to disconnect my network cable from the system and performed the same procedure: Win 7 SOMEHOW has a copy of the old driver I can't seem to locate and installs it every time I restart the system.
I'm just about on the verge of lighting this system on fire - The old drivers lock up when playing D&DOnline, Team Fortress2, and WoW to name a few games, and for the OS to stubbornly INSIST that I use that driver's beyond utterly retarded.
Any suggestions before I break out the lighter fluid?
