    Ok first off, I apologize for posting a new thread on such a small topic, but this has just been pissing me off for the past few days, since I havent been able to play any games or anything.

    My problem just so happens to be that I cannot successfully install a new display driver such as 9.3(ewrecked) 9.4, 9.5.

    The procedures I follow are what I normally did in Win7, which is uninstall the dirvers, uninstall ccc, go in safe mode DL vga adapters, driver sweeper, then reboot and install..

    but when I come to install and choose custom, it doesnt show the video adapters...and sometimes when I reboot the screen just starts flickering and it never stops...trust me I let it sit for awhile and it shouldnt do it for that long.

    Im using vista 64bit sp1, and im trying to install 64bit vista 9.5

    What am I doing wrong?

    Edit: Here are some photos of my drivers and what not that might help a little. [​IMG]

    I love how I can go to update the vga adapter and it will install 8.5 which is a year old...but it wont update beyond that...
