Thanks for the reply, I was just making sure that taking it out thru device manager was the right way. _________________ CPU - Intel Quad Core i7 920 @ 2.66

but if you use driver sweeper turn on system restore just in case driver sweeper bugs out on and deletes all of your games and programs from your hard drive.
so you wont end up like me with just your OS with some bad icons and links to folder that are no longer there
and this was in vista though but trust me i was a long time user of driver sweeper. _________________ Thermaltake Kandalf LCS

right now i am not using driver cleaner at all since that has happen. and i am not using anything to clean any driver since what i have for a gfx card now i really dont need to right now.
but the way semp said to do with the add/remove program will work cause that what i had to do after it had happen to me.
when i still had my evga 285 sc and was trying different gfx drivers yet. it seem to work well that way but i still used ccleaner yet. _________________ Thermaltake Kandalf LCS

Hi! Sorry for reviving this post but I have a similiar problem. Each time I remove WDDM Nvidia driver in Win 7 in the next restart it pop up saying that Windows is looking for the drivers and install it (WDDM). Here are some images:
The problem is that I dont want those WDDM drivers being installed. Any solutions?
PD: I have noticed that even WDDM Nvidia driver is not working in Win 7 (It doesnt recognize the drivers)

You want to remove display driver then on reboot load the driver you would like to use in "Safe Mode". You will have to load driver again when not in safe mode but it will load from initial safe boot install of driver. Windows will find the path of driver installer that was created in safe mode.
Side note safe boot you will get message about not able to load driver due to windows installer service. There is a work around to install in safe mode but it's not necessary for display driver install.
I normally do the driver unistall for display driver then ccleaner, reboot in safe mode run drive sweeper only for "display driver and physx" then I run new display driver in safe mode reboot into desktop and install display driver once more and reboot. I think others have similar steps. I don't change drivers as often as others find one that works for me and stick to it until I have something that is not functioning properly that requires a new display driver. _________________ Processor:Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor

I just dont know why Windows 7 does not recognize the drivers. I have tried XTreme-G 258.96 Vista Win7 32bit, XTreme-G 197.45 Vista Win7 32bit, also the 258.96 from Nvidia. There is a way to make drivers work Win7 in my computer?

ASD, I have managed to install the drivers, thanks a lot!. It seems that I can only install drivers that support FX 5 serie. I had to install the ones from XP and click on the file>compatibility tab> and select XP. However the control panel from Nvidia will not work because of the incompatibility and the only way I found to make it work was doing the exact item click on the file>compatibility tab> and select XP to the nvcplui.exe

I vaguely remember reading some time ago that the 6200 is not supported in Windows 7 for some odd reason....turbo cache perhaps. _________________ Intel i7 3930K | Corsair H100 | Killer Nic Xeno Pro

Yeah, this graphic card has some problems with windows 7 but only if the computer has also old motherboard, memory, etc. Forceware 96.85 for Windows Vista is the only one driver working fine doing the compatibility step.
when you log back in go into device manager and uninstall the display drivers(if they install if not go ahead and reinstall the drivers you want) and check the option to delete files if windows reinstalls the drivers
after that restart and when you log back in install the drivers _________________
