Hmz,i select the line in registry and choose properties,then i change the
access level.
No need to install anything this way,it lets you delete protected registry
lines.
I believe i encountered only 1 line that would not give me full access but
it's no harm
to leave this line so simply ignore such things.
Forgot that part because it's pretty comprehensive to do a genuine uninstall
of nvidia drivers.
In the end only the nv4 display driver stays resident in c:\windows\system32
dir.
But it's overwritten with the older version you are installing so np there.
Dunno if xp home has this feature since im on xp pro.
