Hi Timo, let XP find its own drivers then install the updated ones over the
top ignoring the message that you've already got them. I have used this
method every time and it has worked ok for me....

This damned XP finds Nvidia driver, firstly after
rebooting with all this You mention done it tells me
about finding standard VGA driver and then in a few
seconds, installs the nvidia driver- but where an earth
does it come from? Because this CleanReg doesn´t find any
nv-files. Sould I look for files named something else?
And in that instance, what?
