Hello,

I can't update my graphics card anymore, a Geforce GTX 560M on Asus G74sx with Windows 7.

The installation stops and tells me there's a failure every time. The display then switches to VGA and Windows installs a driver for the graphics card via Windows Update...

I downloaded the latest Asus driver to have a slightly more recent driver anyway, and the same thing happens...

Thank you for your help!

Configuration: Configuration: Windows / Chrome 56.0.2924.87

    I've already tried!
    I tried through Geforce Experience, via the download from the Nvidia site, and then I tried the Asus drivers. I even tried doing a clean uninstall using "Display Driver Uninstaller".
    Nothing works...

      Erf... Oki,

      So uninstalling the GPU drivers and reinstalling them properly is done...

      I don't see anything else for me, maybe contact Asus support to ask them.

    Hello,

    Have you tried this one?
    --> nVidia

      I had tried this one VGA_nVidia_Win7_8_64_VER91813110002.zip,
      so I'll test all this and get back to you...

      Well, with this driver, I manage to update!
      So I won't have the very latest driver, never mind!
      Thanks for the help!

    To update, you must uninstall the old driver before installing this one:
    --> nVidia

      Already tried, it didn't work!
      However, the second-to-last Asus driver does work...

    Go to the control panel
    Programs and Features
    Uninstall everything related to nVidia, such as display driver, etc...

    Go to Device Manager
    Graphics cards
    Right-click on the nVidia card
    Uninstall (including all drivers)
    Restart the PC.

    Try the latest driver offered again.
    --> nVidia

    I therefore tried the very latest Asus driver.

    To do this, I uninstalled everything related to nVidia in the control panel/programs and features.
    I uninstalled the graphics card in the device manager.
    I cleaned the registry with Glary.
    I rebooted, did another cleanup with Glary after Windows installed its driver.
    And I tried to install the Asus driver again... which crashed like before.

    But this time, I had time to note an error message during the installation.
    It's a window called NVCPLSetupInt: error, and it says:
    "could not create folder
    "C:\temp\NVIDIA\NvDisplayContainerInstallerTemp"
    Access denied."
    So I tried running it as an administrator, but it doesn't change anything...

    Download and install --> 7Zip 64 bits

    Right-click on the driver --> VGA.nVidia....zip
    Choose --> 7Zip
    Choose --> extract to "VGA.nVidia....\"

    Go to device manager
    Right-click on the corresponding device
    Update driver
    Browse my computer for driver
    Browse
    Select the folder of the unzipped driver --> VGA.nVidia....
    OK, next
    Restart

    It's still strange because on the same machine, I can install the latest driver on Windows 10 (I set up a dual boot).
    Is there a compatibility issue with these latest drivers and Windows 7?

    It should normally work since the driver is compatible with Windows 7 and 8.
