    Hi, I need help. I was having trouble playing certain games like starcraft 2 and WoW and the whitelist wasn't working properly (anytime I added something to it there was no result and the settings on the control panel seemed to reset even if I applied them, clicked OK, and rebooted)

    So I tried sweeping the drivers so that I could either rollback or reinstall.

    I downloaded driver sweeper and sweeped the Nvidia display and Phsyx driver.

    It asked me to reboot and then this cmd prompt came up asking me something about Nvidia with a Y or N. (I tried it both ways btw)

    Anyways when i tried to install the Nvidia driver for the 335m (both dell and Nvidia versions) it tells me that it cannot find a device that uses the driver!

    How can I fix this!
