Recently, I installed the latest NVIDIA display drivers. However, I didn't
uninstall my previous drivers, and when i remembered that i have to, i
did...but after i had installed the latest drivers. And that's when the
problem seemed to start. I looked on the Add/Remove programs list to see if
the latest drivers were there, but there was nothing there. I couldn't find
them on the list anywhere. So I tried reinstalling them, and when they were
being installed, i got a message saying: "Windows could not load the
installer for display. Contact your hardware vendor for assitsance." I didn't
understand it, and to try to end the problem quickly, I tried to rollback the
driver using device manager. When in device manager, i noticed an exclamation
point next to the display adapter, which is an NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 420 with
AGP8X. So i knew there was a problem. When examining the adapter, i read
under the general tab "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its
configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code
19)" So, following instructions i obtained from this site, i tried to
uninstall the driver and install a new one. However, this is what i am stuck
on...It doesn't let me uninstall them. It says, "Windows failed to unninstall
this device. The device may be required to reboot the computer." So i tried
to do it in safe mode, and i still couldn't uninstall them. So that's where i
need help. I hope you have a solution.
