TSGL: Unable to update drivers for nVidia card

[Bo Maurin]

Hi Don,
The main reason why I want to keep the drivers updated is that I
recently play quite a lot of games. For each new release, bugs are
corrected and it does make a difference.

So far, I have not had any problems restoring the PC to the old drivers.
I'm just not able to update them

Regards / Bo

As you are able to boot into Safe Mode, your screen resolution is
probably set to a resolution which the new drivers are not able to
deliver.

System Restore should restore the previous screen settings. There should
be a Restore Point made when the new drivers were installed.

Or, much simpler, if you've made registry backups, try a registry
restore first from Safe Mode.

But I'm not clear why you were updating the display drivers in the first
place. Were you experiencing any display problems before the update?
