Title: nvidia geforce gts 250 drivers problem!
Post by: invader7 on December 03, 2009, 10:36:58 pm

Hello to everyone at this forum, i have a gts 250 card model name (GV-N250ZL-1GI) http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3060 (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3060) i'm using it with windows 7 64bit. i had some problems with the cd drivers like colours messed up or games with black bars left and right also some weirg freezing while playing pro evolution 2010. i solved them (not the pro freezing problem) by installing the beta 191.07 drivers. now i saw nvidia released 195.62 drivers! i tried to download them from nvidia site BUT, first try: i downloaded a file 133mb, second try: i downloaded a file 157mb , third try: i downloaded a file but i don't remember its size,today my final try: i found a file with size 157mb... all of them ended with the same error message during installation: nvidia control panel could not be installed blah blah blah i don't remeber the rest! i try a lot of things i found in some sites, i removed alla previous drivers with Driver Sweeper and tried again, but it didn't worked :( can anyone help me ?

Hi,
Have you tried installing the drivers that came on your cd?,
Then let win 7 update them?
Looks like your getting corrupted drivers when downloading to me,
Worth a shot!
Driver sweeper caused another forum member some problems, do a search here for solution,
Cheers

Hi
You will have to install drivers from a usb flash drive, or burn a cd of them,
Nvidia has a driver removal tool if you search there site for it,
