Default Post Question on Omega

Ok, in order to install omega's drivers are the nvidia drivers suppose to be on first?
I tried to do a clean install of Omega's and got an error message when I went to do the adjustments in the "display", "Invalid Display settings" etc..

a 3dmark score will always change, a tolerance level of 50-100 points is commonplace, a clean registry and system with as few as possible running processes is important for a bench. and oh yeah it depends on what way the wind is blowing.

Ya but, can someone answer my question at the top?
Can you clean install Omega's drivers?
If so, why did I get that error message(Invalid Display settings--you have a previous version of Windows that does not support this VGA driver, or something to that affect) when I tried to adjust the display settings after I "clean" install?
This was in w2kpro.

All Omega does is greatly tweak the inf file. None of the actual files are hacked in any way. So yes they can be installed straight on their own...
