Subject: driver installation problems
Posted: 24 June 2013 at 3:04am
yesterday i went to upgrade my video driver for my graphics card andit will not let me install it. The installer opens and starts to install, gets to about 10% and says Failed to install. i also tried doing a clean install of the new driver and it gives me the same error. so i now have no video card driver installed. i have no restore points so im trying to fix this without having to do a fresh install of windows.
Im not sure if it is the cause but a few weeks ago i installed a program called "Speed up PC" (link from testmy.com) and it ran a registry scan and cleaned out some old/outdated entries, then a few days later when i rebooted my desktop i could not connect to my wireless router, after some google searching i fixed the problem, i had to edit an entry in the registry and start some services to get the wireless to work again.
Ive searched around for a few hours now with no results on a fix, and have posted my problem on a few sites, i'm just hoping to get some help here.
specs on my desktop:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
BIOS Date: 02/05/10 19:13:52 Ver: 08.00.10
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAMAvailable OS Memory: 8096MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
please let me know if i need to post any more info
i have also tried to install some other drivers and they do the same thing, i can start the installation but it fails almost immediately saying the installation has failed, i think it may have to do with the registry.
also ran install logs on the nvidia driver if it helps
1st and second log files on pastbin
3rd was too large for pastbin so i uploaded it
