This damned XP finds Nvidia driver, firstly after=20
rebooting with all this You mention done it tells me=20
about finding standard VGA driver and then in a few=20
seconds, installs the nvidia driver- but where an earth=20
does it come from? Because this CleanReg doesn=B4t find any=20
nv-files. Sould I look for files named something else?=20
And in that instance, what? =20
I asked because=20
I removed a pny GF2 MX400 and installed a pny GF4 TI4200=20

8x last week=20
and updated the driver
..
I'll be repeating the process this afternoon by swapping=20

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....
