When you get this message look at the this c:\documents and settings\kelly\desktop\nvidia_wxp_omega_15303\driv erkx\quality

and delete the quality or performance part and should install 15303\drivekx\ (then delete the Performance or the Quality it should install)

You need to install the drivers manually, do not use the .exe.

c&p'd from the help file of your drivers.
