    Yes I know there is a sticky about this but it didnt seem to work quite right for me
    I have recently noticed that after following the steps and installing the new modded drivers
    I have 2 drivers listed in my uninstall programs page
    as you can see in my attached item
    NVIDIA Driver at the top and the modded drivers all the way at the bottom
    any idea if i did anyting wrong or is this how it is supposed to be
    because i have no idea how to tell which drivers are installed or anything of that sort =/

    It looks like "Tweakforce" modifies the NVIDIA installer so that it appears to Windows to be different from the regular one. The drivers that you "successfully" installed last should be the ones that are installed. Maybe you should uninstall both of them and then install a new driver. LaptopVideo2Go.com has some brand new 177 series drivers hanging out in their community forum.
