Driver install problems.

[Rezabrya]

I am trying to update my graphics drivers to the latest 191.07 Nvidia drivers. I was running 190.38 before. I uninstalled the old driver through device manager, deleted the driver folder, restarted into safe mode, ran the driversweeper utility, restarted into normal mode, and then installed the new driver. I restarted and when windows loaded again it came up with this error

I have reinstalled twice now and it does this everytime. What would be my best course of action? I am running Windows Vista SP2 64 bit with a GTX 260 GPU.

There is a newer version of Nhancer available that deals with this issue (which has occurred since the 190.xx series Nvidia drivers).

Edit : There's also both 32 and 64 bit version of Nhancer available to download...

If mermory doesn't fail me right now, I fixed this error by opening said nvapps.xml and editing out the faulty line.
I think it was something about a "laucher" .exe or something.

Anyways, take a screenshot of the file's "area of interest" (around line 861, column 47), post it up here and I'll tell you what to delete.

Here ya go.


Now if only I could figure out how to fix my Eee PC...

Alright, change the whole line so that it just reads:
<PROFILE Label="Battlefield 1943">

(Basically delete everything between the quotation mark after the "3" and before the ">")

Seems that Nhancer has a problem with those "Itemtype" entries. Hence I suggest searching for more entries of this kind in nvapps.xml.

A backup wouldn't be a bad idea either before you edit anything.
