Asus G53 problem after Win 7 update on 6/29/2011

Hi all, this is my first post, so forgive me if I give incomplete information.

I really need some help on this one.
I have an Asus G53 laptop, i740QM proc with nVidia 460m graphics 1.5GB running Win7 64 bit.

After installing windows updates on 6/29/2011 my graphics card went crazy.

Description:
Usually when Win starts it loads for about 3 seconds and you can see the GC kicking in some settings and the colors look warmer. This is not happening after the update. Windows Areo doesn't load. I ran Starcraft 2. The settings were all crapy, lowest settings and no longer 1920x1080 resolution, it was 1280xsmth.
I run another Win update which installed Win 7 SP1. That didn't help. I got the latest driver from the nVidia site. It got installed. I rebooted, nothing has changed. I run the Win 7 performance rating. The 2 GC indicators went down from 7.1 to 6.6.

Unfortunately, I can't roll back to a point before this update. I can go before the SP1 update but that's it.

Should I manually uninstall the updates? They just looked like security updates, so it doesn't make any sense.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Sorry to hear about the graphics issues! Have you tried installing the VGA drivers from asus's support site? ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support-

 

Thanks. No I have not tried that. I did not notice the original asus driver being deleted after Win 7 update, so I figured maybe it just needs a newer version. Sometimes drivers from nVidia site don't work and they recommend downloading from the manufacturers site, but this driver "worked" - I mean got installed.

I'll get the driver from Asus. Worth a try.

Edit:
It did not work :-/

 

Well, last time I had a customer with this kind of problem, my service manager suggested uninstalling all NVIDIA entries from the "Uninstall a program" list, then reboot and try the driver install in safe mode. Worth a shot!
