Im having real trouble getting rid of the last few bits of my old Nvida display driver, im moving to a ATI 4850 and i uninstalled as much of the old Nvida drivers as possible before i installed the latest Caqt 8.6 drivers. I am trying to get rid of these

Never had anything be this anoying before. Would like to just wipe the Nvidia drivers of my HD but i still have a 680i which i just no will go fubar if i even whisper near it :mad:
 
Thanks for the advice , got rid of the system32 files but had to use Regedit to get rid of the other two. No error messages now, never had this much trouble with ATI removal, seems Nvidia is like a guy chained to a tree, just got to cut everything around him and he will let go ;)
 
Had a similar problem. If you have XP SP3 one of the cabs contains several NV files and wanted to system restore them no matter how I deleted so have just left for now as my performance is good.
 
Anything in the dllcache is NOT going to have any impact on your system as far as anything ATI driver goes anyhow - and should delete fine manually in safemode.

You will need to remove the copies from dllcache before windows will allow you to delete the files from system32 tho - unless your running in safemode.
 
If you're not actually experiencing any problems, don't worry about them :)

I went from nvidia to ATI and just used add remove programs, deleted in device manager, turned pc off and installed ATI card. Maybe I have my old nvidia drivers still there, I wouldn't know (or care) as I've had zero problems.

I had similar problem,basically I uninstalled my nvidia drivers(about 2 hours ago),booted into safe mode and used DriverSweeper,after that I shut pc down and installed my Gigabyte 4780 card,anyway after bootup had 3 nvidia files in System32 coming up with errors at desktop ie NVCPL.DLL,NVMctray.dll,NVSVC64.dll,simple fix for these was to use RegEdit and delete them,been fine since.
