"i thought maybe display driver got corrupt"
so again go to "Enable VGA mode" Now i uninstall the display driver from Device manager n i restart it. this time i allow window to run normally.
i logged into window and screen resolution was very low.

Uninstalling the display driver through the Device Manager will not fix a corrupt driver. Every time you restart the computer Windows will just reinstall the same driver. Download a fresh graphics driver from Nvidia's website, uninstall the old driver from Add and Remove Programs, restart and install the new driver. See if that helps.

Sometime, in funny way, no matter if you are upgrading or downgrading the same company card, but different model, sometime drivers will work on it own, and sometime it won't.

At the most of time, downloading the software from Nvidia will usually work on first time, even if you are using the old driver, it should be able to uninstall and upgrade to newest version from there.

If not, kudos to mailpup for his first post anyway


@Bestali, you can try to uninstall your nvidia drivers from safemode, and you should be able to boot to normal mode by using the generic VGA driver that your os can use for temporarily until you get the proper drivers from Nvidia.

In addition to above valuable comments, please ensure that you run Driver Sweeper after uninstalling your currently installed nVidia drivers, to get rid of any left over files from old driver(s). Once you have done that, reboot and proceed with installation of newest WHQL drivers.

I forgot to add this to my post.... @ Bestali, you might want to check this link out it contains the faq of how to install the nvidia softwares manually on Windows Vista and 7.

@Archean

That link seems to be broken.

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

ravisunny2, try it again. It works for me. It could have been a momentary glitch.

 

[bushwhacker]

@Mailpup, yup, it's down.
