    Had issues with an nTune installation. Used CCleaner and Windows Installer clean-up to remove nTune. Try to reinstall and it is trying to UNinstall (which it obviously cant, because there are no nTune files on my computer). It asks if I want to remove all of the profiles from nTune, I say "Yes". It gives me error -1605 (Cant do anything because its for installed programs only).

    I need help so bad! Please!

    Try Revo Uninstaller? uninstalls programs deeply, like folders, registry etc....

    You checked to see if the folder is gone from Program Files/NVIDIA nTune Performance Application/

    ?

    I tried all that. nTune folder is gone. Registry should be clean. I cant figure it out. I try running the installer and I get:
    Error: -1605 This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

    and it stops installing (obviously)

    Check your Device Manager. I think there is something disabled there. You need to enable it for nTune installation/usage.
    I experienced this before and I found out the problem can be fix using Device Manager.
    Hope it works for you. Cheer.

    If you have Sytem Restore enabled, go back to a point where this problem was not occurring.

    Ok. System Restored to an earlier time. Running into a previous problem. Any time I try to actually uninstall nTune, it gives me the error:

    Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

    This problem does not belong to Gaming section.
    Correct section would have been Windows OS and Software which is just one line below. -_-

    nTune = Fail

    Its so buggy. You guys and gals are better off using RivaTuner.

    NVDIA system tools is much better.. Ntune caused my hard drive to get corrupted .. yes your hearing it correctly... and i had to do a full factory restore...

    ok i think this is the same problem i had

    basically, what i did was install this utility: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

    and find ntunes in that program and delete it, then try reinstalling

    i would recommend you install through Nvidia system tools, but if you still want to use ntunes, it will definatly not corrupt your hard drive like sean473 says.

    @sean473
    there is no possible way that the cause of your hard drive failure was due to ntunes.

    the only possible way was if while it was installing, it froze, and u did a hard reset while the hard drive was in use....

    Ntune is the Performance part of the NVS 6.05, they are not separate from each other.

    Well i'm talking about the ntune which is seperate and not the one in system tools... for some reason that program caused game to freeze in middle with oc settings and i did hard restart... no choice... but when i used system tools with same overclock... game nver froze.. so advice from me is this

    Stay away from Ntune.. get NVDIA System tools instead!

    dont state that ntunes corrupted your hard drive, instead tell the OP that ntunes install is prone to freezing, otherwise people might take it the wrong way

    The old nTune 5 point somethings were buggy, yes. The 6.05 System Tools package is trustworthy.
