Default CORRECTED RELEASE NOTES 9GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008 0

I have an interesting development. I have a 9600 GT (nVidia) board so I
d/l'd the driver. I first uninstalled my current video driver(s) from nVidia
and rebooted. I got the black screen just before win/vist/ult booted (you
know, with the crawl at the bottom) and nothing happened! I couldn't get
into my Vista system. Thankfully I had a mirror image that I created this AM
so I redeployed it and repeated the above but I couldn't get Vista to run
(boot to desktop) after uninstalling my current nVidia drivers. I tried to
do this in safe mode but got the same results. Any ideas?

Default CORRECTED RELEASE NOTES 9GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008 0

I suggest that you boot into safe mode and try and install the drivers from
there.
AFAIK you no longer need to uninstall older NVIDIA drivers when installing
new ones. I have not installed any for the last year or twos upgrades.
Following is the link to the full set of release notes which is a lot more
comprehensive then the release highlights contained in Bears post.

That is correct. nVidia drivers do not require uninstallation by the user
when updating.

Default New nVidia GeForce WHQL Release 175.16 -- 13 May 2008

Yep, when I look up the driver for Product Series 7 I get the old December
driver, but if you look at series 8 or 9 you get the May 13th driver.

Just tried to install and it said not for my system....weird. I def. got
the right version downloaded.
I have 7600GS on Vista x86 so it should be OK. Is it true that we no
longer need to uninstall the old driver?
