I'm trying to update my Nividia graphics card drivers, but the installer seems very confused by my system. I have Vista Business x64 so I'm getting the 64 bit drivers. When I run the installer it comes up with these 3 messages in this order:

"You are running a 32 bit version of Nvidia uninstaller on a 64 bit system (Binary type I386).
Wrong version of uninstaller. Uninstaller exits now."

"Setup has detected that the operating system in use is not Windows Vista [64-bit]. This setup program and it's associated drivers are designed to run only on Windows Vista [64-bit]. The installation will be terminated."

"You are running a 32 bit version of Nvidia uninstaller on a 64 bit system (Binary type I386).
Wrong version of uninstaller. Uninstaller exits now."

So first it complains that I'm running a 32 bit version on a 64 bit system, then it changes it's mind and decides that I'm actually trying to install 64 bit drivers on a 32 bit system. Then it changes it's mind again.

Yet another case of an installer program thinking it knows better than me. If it would just go ahead and install it anyway it would probably work. Stuff like this seems to happen all the time :(
 
It's a 7800.

Definitely latest drivers. Tried both the latest stable release and the beta drivers. Neither work.
 
It might be worth completely cleaning your PC of the current drivers for your 7800 and trying again.

Sorry I can't think of anything more helpful. :(
