The drivers are most likely not installed correctly. Please follow the
instructions below to completely remove the drivers for a fresh re-installation.
You must reboot your system into safe mode. To do this, reboot your system
and continuously press the F8 key. You will see a menu with a couple of
options. Highlight "Safe Mode" and press Enter. Your system will then boot
to safe mode.
Click on Start, Settings, and select Control Panel. Double click on the
System icon, then click the Device Manager tab. In the list below, look for
Display Adapters and click the plus "+" sign next to it. The name of your
graphics card will be displayed. If you have more than one graphics card
listed, remove them and leave only one under the Display Adapters heading.
Highlight the remaining graphics card and click on the Properties button.
Click on the Driver tab, then click on the Update Driver button below.
Click Next, then select the option "Display a list of drivers in a specific
location..." and click Next. Make sure that the option "Show all hardware"
is selected. In the Manufacturer's list, scroll up until you see "(Standard
display types)". Highlight it, then in the models list, highlight "Standard
PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)" and click Next. Click Next again, let Windows
install the appropriate drivers, then choose Finished when it is done. If
you are prompted to reboot, choose No.
Click Start, Settings, and select Control Panel. Click on Add/Remove Programs, and remove anything to do with Nvidia drivers. Also make sure to remove any other drivers that may be listed there from previous graphics cards.
Next, you will have to remove the INF file for the graphics card. Click Start, Find, and select Files or Folders. Make sure that you are looking on your hard drive, and check the "Include Subfolders" option. In the Named text box, type "nv*.inf" and click Find Now. Delete any obvious references
to Nvidia files. Then make a search for "gui*.*". Delete any obvious references to Nvidia files.
Next, delete any references to leftover Nvidia files on your system. Click
Start, Find, and select Files or Folders. Make sure that you are looking on

text box, type "nv*.*" and click Find now. Delete any obvious references to leftover Nvidia files.
You should also clear the registry entries as well. Click Start, Run, and
type "regedit.exe", and click OK. Double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, then look for the Nvidia delete the entries. Click Edit, Find from the Regedit menu, and do a search for Nvidia. Delete all obvious references to Nvidia links in the registry. Do a search and remove all nvidia links.
Close everything down, then empty the recycling bin and reboot your system
normally. When Windows boots up, everything should be fine except for the display settings. This is because the graphics card is set as a standard adapter. All you must do now is download and install the latest drivers, and everything should be OK afterwards.
