Did you uninstall the previous drivers? It's been a while since I owned an NVidia card but as I recall, you need to be very careful about that. There's a program on Driver Haven called "Driver Cleaner" that's excellent at removing drivers. Here's the link -
http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/

Just go through the normal process of removing the drivers via Control Panel/Add Remove and then run Driver Cleaner to clean up the mess that NVidia leaves behind. I do the same thing whenever I install a new ATi driver and it works extremely well. Driver Cleaner can handle a fairly broad range of drivers (ATi, NVidia, Creative, Turtle Beach, etc.) so it's fairly useful in that respect.

Also, since the driver version you're trying to install and use is NOT available directly from NVidia (I think they're current version is something like 53.03 or 53.04), it's probaby a BETA driver so don't expect it to look/work/act the same as the "official" drivers. Good luck.

Later.

actually these drivers are whql certified they are from gainward
they gave me a 10%-15% increase
they are prolly some of the best drivers i have used in a long while
nvidia is starting to get it down

i was using the 53.06s

from which detonator have you upgraded ?

actually he's right! there is no seperate d3d or opengl tab in these drivers. The auto-overclocking option is avaibable only if u got temperature sensors on ur graphics board.
Plz use nvhardpage and enable (activate) all the tabs in case you get none of them.

You Need to use Coolbits to unlock the Overclocking and D3D Tads

go here to Guru 3D

:hail:

you can use riva tuner for ocing your card with no problems get it at rivatuner.com or guru3d.com

i don´t use any tools like Riva Tuner, Powerstrip for overclocking or something, another tool that uses resources...

best way is Coolbits !!

coolbits ? whats that ?
thats a little modification to registry telling det to show OC panel
you can this per .reg or alternatively use

ähem....the little prog on ur site IS COOLBITS

or am i so stupid now?.....i don´t know

*smile*

as I said its an alternative to adding coolbits by .reg file ... this has a GUI for noobs

ahhh....ok...sorry i misunderstud you...what a blame

;)
just check out the other tools like stop messanger spam or prefetch clen n control ....
everything can be done by hand
but those tools do it quite well, too
