Basically, my windows decides that nvidia needs to be updated every 24 hours. So when I update, it usually works. Only recently (today) the update got downloaded and was installing mid way. My screen blacked out (<-- normal) but stayed at a crappy 800x600 resolution meaning the update didn't install properly. So I tried again to install, restarting my PC and checking windows for updates but the same thing kept happening. Later, I uninstalled the driver thinking I could re-install it and it would work. So I download the driver from the official site Nvidia site and display driver fails to install . My video adapter is now stuck on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Any tips/advice on how to get it to work again?

Specs:
Intel Core Duo CPU
P8700 2.53 GHz
4GB RAM
64 bit
Nvidia GeForce 9200M GS

I found this on another forum, give it a try.

Found a fix to, Nvidia Installer Failed.
If anyone is having problems with removing and installing new Nvidia Drivers.

The error you might get is Nvidia Installer Failed. I found a work around.This will not allow you to install any drivers out of the driver pack, even update them. It will just kick you straight out..... Here is the work around.

Steps to take:

1. Download latest graphics drivers and if you get the failure you will have NVIDIA folder in your C drive. (because it extracts and makes the directory before the failure happens).

Address for driver is (C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\304.79\Win8_64\Internatio nal\Display.Driver)

2.You have to uninstall your display driver in device...

2.You have to uninstall your display driver in device manager. THEN RESTART.

3.After restart; in device manager right click and update drivers manually by finding the nvidia driver ONLY.
Typically somewhere around (C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\304.79\Win8_64\Internatio nal\Display.Driver)
The driver will install for just the display.
THEN RESTART AGAIN.

4. Once you restart, Reopen the Nvidia driver .exe file and run the installer again. After accepting the terms you will choose "CUSTOM" install then select the box that says "Perform a Clean install".

It will now install the pack with all new updates drivers for update,physx etc etc.....

There is something with the driver not allowing the pack to install unless the driver you are installing is the exact driver your trying to update with.

AND yes I understand why install it if the manuel driver installed and worked. WELL, this allows the whole .exe program to update all of the drivers that the failure misses.

Hope that helps -Ryan
