Hi guys,
please help me with this driver issue I'm having.
on my Win7 Ultimate 64-bit pc I got GTX650 ti video card that has very old drivers (something like 314.xx).
I also have Experience running, but it doesn't update drivers. Also I cannot open Experience application, but I see it running on my status bar.

Anyways, I tried to update drivers manually and downloaded latest WHQL drivers from NVidia website. I had to choose them manually because when I clicked on "Auto-Detect Your GPU" it did not find anything, just kept running without end. So I downloaded the drivers manually and tried to install.
It ran without any prompts ( didn'ty ask me to Accept anything, or to choose from EXpress or Custom options) and then failed to install. I didn't get any errors, it just failed.
I tried to uninstall my current drivers via Windows Add/Remove programs but it failed to uninstall too. No error message either.
I have uninstalled my video card via Device Manager, but could not install new drivers, said "device is compatible with the driver, but line is missing in INF"
So in the end I could not even install my currently working drivers.
I had to roll back using System Restore in windows.

Please help me with installing latest drivers and getting Experience to update my drivers automatically.

Thank you

I think you should completely wipe anything that has the word Nvidia on it at this point. Just uninstall everything including the Nvidia experience app and start fresh. Then, before you install the latest driver package, use a driver cleaner like this: http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html to completely rid the system of any trace of the old drivers. Reboot the PC. Don't worry, at this point, Windows update will install a generic display driver and your resolution will probably change to something really low. Make sure everything is updated like Windows update, etc. Then, install the new drivers.

Hi mate,
thank you for a quick response.
The problem is - I can't uninstall nvidia drivers, nor Experience. I can' only uninstall the device.
I will try your advice, and let you know later today.

Cheers
