    It first happened when installing the BETA 275.xx driver but then it wouldn't install the 267.xx driver either. Which i had previously.

    I went to control panel uninstalled everything. Driver sweeper. CCleaner.

    Still same issue....

    anything?

    Update: Interestingly enough... even though the installation "fails" the driver doesnt install these components. Are they necessary?

    I got mine to work after using driver sweepers and cc cleaner it failed the first time when I tried it the second time it said my pc needed to be restarted after a restart it worked fine might have to do with where I downloaded it from I got this one from nvidia and it was slightly larger than one I received from a forum elsewhere.
    NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.27 BETA

    I got mine from NV too. Weird. I mean it updates everything except the NV update portion which isnt too important so I guess I can live with it. Strange that it suddenly happens after nearly 6months.

    Where else would you download NVIDIA drivers from?

    Anything else besides Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies is non-official therefore is most likely NOT compatitible. (besides Welcome to Dell Technical Support of course)
