    Hi guys, I've tried reinstall my display drivers- it won't work with modded .inf method, either with setup.exe, nothing. When I press setup it seems like it updates the drivers but after restart there are no nvidia drivers but VGA standart adapter, what is the solutuion?

    are you logged in as admin ?
    try using a different driver (as in 177.63 over 177.79 etc)

    make sure using x64 drivers

    I guess my memory isnt so bad after all. I havent updated my drivers for 6 months lol

    Your supposed to use drivesweeper in safemode btw. This ensures a clean removal of drivers.
