    C:\DRV \VGAfolder contain your OLD driver (You can use stock driver in case of emergency )

    I suggest you to uninstall your old driver first and run Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

    After the driver sweeper run CCleaner v1.41.544 to clean your registry

    Now you can install driver

    Replace Original Inf file with Modded inf file. It will solve the problem :)
