nVidia Fix

Hi,

When you have that problem that you can't install any new nvidia drivers than do the following.
Download http://www.hardwareheaven.com/cleaner/download/nvfix.zip unzip it to a temp folder.
Than import nvfix.reg into your registry (double click).
If you have a nForce Chipset then copy the file APG440.sys into your \SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory.
If you have a VIA Chipset then copy the file VIAAGP1.sys into your \SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory.
Than reboot and then install the NVidia driver you want.

Mark Titus mailed me the nForce solution, so please try it and leave you comment here if it worked. If it works than i will write a small program around it and include it with my next version.

Also after looking around on the intermet i found out that this problem is not DC related. There are people with the same problem and have not used any cleaning program. So the nvidia uninstall of 45.** and higher can mess things up.
