i am not sure where the new driver was installed on my machine, perhaps i can point device manager to it and try that approach.

I should run an installation program when you run it, but if not, look for a C:NVIDIA folder that you can run a setup file from (preferred) or point Device Manager to.

windows determines the driver is up to date when pointing to C:NVIDIA.

so , still not sure what to do?

If you have a newer driver, go into device manager and remove your video adapter. run the installer executable once rebooted (should come up with standard vga)

i untinstalled the driver. rebooted. but it is back.

Have you extracted the driver set, gone into device manager and updated the driver (pointing to local drive where extracted files reside)? or have you run the executable?
