    Use driver sweeper after uninstallling the first set of drivers. Use them in safe mode also. Then boot normally into windows and install the new version.

    I would recommend 178.20 (i think) there is a DOCX modified driver that is supposed to give a noticeable speed boot to all cards. I'm running it without any problems. Get them from www.laptopvideo2go.com

    i just realized something I never uninstalled my stock drivers I just installed the 177.92 drivers over them could this be why these drivers could be missing with some of my games. Should I uninstall my stock drivers and 177.92 and install 177.92 and see if that fixes some problems. Again I want to make sure I uninstall right could you give me some steps? Thanks!
