Nvidia Driver Installer won't proceed past License Agreement

Artrusus · Oct 4, 2013

Hello,

I'm having trouble installing any nvidia drivers due to the fact that the setup simply crashes every time (regardless of driver version) after I click "Agree" on the License Agreement portion. There is no error; the window simply closes. By checking the task manager I can still see the setup.exe, but nothing ever happens. If I try again, I get an error saying that that setup is still running; if I use task manager to close it and start again, the same problem begins anew. The drivers I'm attempting to install are up to date and definitely the appropriate ones for my OS and GPU.

Win 7 64 bit
16 GBs RAM
GTX 680
i7 3770k 3.5 Ghz

Thanks.

I would try a driver sweaper and get rid of all of the old drivers and try again that is the only thing I can think of. If that does not work you might need to do a re-install of the OS. I know the latest drivers work correctly or at least they do on my rig.

on a new build make sure the intel or amd chipset drivers are installed first and the system is rebooted. if not the mb wont see the video card right.

I had this exact problem on Windows XP. The GeForce installer would exit after I agreed to the License Agreement, and the installer would continue to run in the background, doing nothing. It happened on every installer version I downloaded.

I was able to fix it by reinstalling IE8.

I never use IE, but there is some dependency between IE and the GeForce installer, such that if IE is corrupted by malware/virus, it will affect the GeForce installer in this way. When I downloaded IE8 and installed it over the top of my existing bad IE8, I could then run the GeForce installer successfully.

Installing IE had no bad affects, as far as I can see. It didn't change any of my system settings, or try to grab "default browser" status. But it fixed this problem.

Reinstalling IE on Windows 7 may also help.
