Can't get new drivers to install - Help Please

Am trying to update my 128MB GeForce Ti 4600 /w TV out. I seem to have a Detonator 27.45 driver installed. Attempts to replace it with newer Nvidia drivers have all failled. I don't know how the Detonator driver got there, but it seems to be associated with Dell (my computer) and Nvidia cards. Recently sent message to Driver Cleaner Net & he suggested the forum might be able to help. Here is what I sent:
I am using a Dell 8200 with a 2.54 Ghz intel chipset. The Nvidia card is a 128MB GeForce4 ti 4600 w tv out. Xp home 2. Purchased your program (latest version) on Saturday. Have an outdated driver for my video card 2002-02-19 Version 2.7.4.5 (control panel says 209 MB in size). Your update said I needed the v93.81 or 93.71. Followed your cleaner.net instructions to the letter. Cleaned out old drivers & was left with plain video. Couldn't get any Nvidia driver to update. Everytime I attempted to load a driver the card was recognized and file transfer occurred, but end message was that it could not be loaded because of "Parameter is Incorrect". I could not even get the old driver (original Dell) versions to load - same message. After several attempts, I think the v93.81 actually loaded, but when I rebooted, it would not run. It was also difficult to remove. Finally, and with some difficulty, I was able revert my drive and have the old material reinstalled. I would really like to update my Nvidia driver but, at this point, am afraid to try again. Can you offer some help and a solution? If you need more info, please let me know. Thanks.

Is there something with "Parameters" that I can fix? Is the Detonator driver the problem?
Any Help is appreciated.

You did uninstall your drivers before using DriverCleaner, correct?
And also, your video card could be some obscure OEM model with a different DevID.
So my suggestion: try a modified driver set; either from XtremeG, NGO, DNA, or even one of the old (discontinued) DHzer0point drivers. Those all have custom DevID's added and may be able support your card.
