    So i had installed the newest Nvidia drivers for Black ops.. But not due to the compadability issues with Punkbuster for Bad company 2: Vietnam i tried to uninstall the current drivers, but when i restarted i do not have any graphics driver any more. o.o When i try to install older drivers the installation process fails due to not finding drivers TO update. Halp. D:

    Try the new 265 community drivers... make sure you check clean install. That will solve all of your problems.

    It keeps telling me it cannot find drivers to override.. Probably because after uninstaling the lst drivers my computer no longer has ANY vga drivers, just standard Intel.

    ok go to control panel uninstall anything that has to do with nvidia... reboot try installing again if fail. download a driver sweeper phyxion.net has one. run driver sweeper in safe mode. Then so on and try installing it again. U should see the announcement that the vga has been installed.
