Geforce 295 GTX

Hi

Can anyone shed some light of the following error I keep getting? I've tried lots of different solutions however none seems to having any effect.
Every time windows boots up or even when I log off and back on, or even switch users Windows has to re-install the graphics card or that’s what It looks to be doing.

I've uninstalled the drivers and re-installed, I’ve also tried re-installing the drivers without uninstalling i.e. a repair and still getting the same error, don't really want to do a flatten and re-install but can't think of anything else.

I'm running the following spec as below in my signature and running Windows Vista. GFX card is connected via HDMI to a view sonic 22" running @ 1920x1080 res.

Here is an attached screenshot....

Thanks in advance

Chris.

Sounds like a borked driver install. Reinstalling a driver after uninstalling it through windows often doesnt make this go away as there are remanent files left over.
You need to erase all trace of the drivers. Most would recommend doing this every driver update:

Download & install Driversweeper
Download latest gpu driver (DONT install this yet)
reboot into safe mode (bash F8 after post untill it gives you the option)
Once in safe mode:
Delete the "C:\NVIDIA" folder
uninstall drivers from the controlpanel
run driversweeper for nvidia gpu drivers and AGIEA Physx drivers. (ignore any 'file not found errors) then run again for both just to check.
reboot to normal windows (with admin rights)
enjoy 800x640 for a bit
install latest driver package (this can take a while with multigpu/dualpcb setups)
reboot when prompted.
once back into windows:
go into display settings and set correct res.
open Nvidia control panel check that multi-gpu mode is enabled
reboot once more for luck and done

Thanks Vertica for your help

I've followed the steps and unfortuantly the error has come back

I really don't understand why windows wants to install the drivers everytime. I keep clicking "Finish Installing Drivers" however as above if i log off and back on and same error returns. I really can't understand why. I've had a good search online and I seem to be the only one with the problem.

Grrr!! so annoying!
