Message: You Have To Uninstall Drivers To Update Them
Aug 22, 2009
I remember a few years back, when I used Windows XP, that driver updating was sort of troublesome -- sometimes you had to completely remove the older version of the driver to install the newer, and so on.
But.. once I installed Vista, I never really had to deal with that. My NVIDIA drivers always updated properly without uninstalling them first.
Now, I hear people still using programs that entirely erase all traces of a previous driver.. why do they still use those? I don't believe you have to use them anymore to update drivers..
If you install, for example, the latest NVIDIA driver -- the installer erases the previous driver from your system, then installs the new driver.
I think people are living in the past when I hear: "I'm uninstalling my current drivers right now, then I'm gonna run a sweeper to erase all traces of it. Then I have to reboot, and install the updated driver. Then reboot again."

Each time I uninstall a program, after it completes and I try to uninstall another, I get the following message: "Please Wait Until The Current Program is Finished Uninstalling or Being Changed". Why?

After turning on my computer today, I noticed that the "shut down" icon in start menu had the familiar triangle referring to updates. I closed things down and selected it to "Shutdown and install updates". I keep my Windows as up to date as i can, so this was a recent update.
The problem is that upon starting the computer, I could get to the log in screen with both the Administrator and user accounts visible, but when attempting to select either one to log in, the screen flickers black once for a half-second, then kicks me back to the user select screen. How can i undo this last update without logging in? I tried inserting the windows disk to use the system restore feature, but it claims that "No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive" yet as far as I've seen, each update has been initiated with a "creating system restore point" loading bar, so how can this be? I've attempted logging in in safe mode as well. The same black screen, it just took longer before I got kicked back.
Or additional information I can provide?
Edit - If possible, does anyone know of a program or command that can bypass the log in screen and immediately log in? Maybe if I could do that and get into the system itself, I could undo the upgrade on my user account.

Ever since I removed some malware I cannot run a program that is vital to my job. It tries to do a software update (which it does periodically) and encounters this error: "Message 0x1047 in SUBVMCHK Another application is in the process of updating. Please wait while this update completes." I click ok and the program shuts down. I cannot uninstall the program (I get error 1060). Is there a registry key missing? Earliest system restore does not work.

had a virus last year with an underlying update problem. the virus got sorted but i was told the only way to sort the update was to reinstall windows. basically every time the laptop was turned off it was have to reinstall all the updates as they dont seem to save when it shuts off. i left it at the time as it was only 25 or so updates. it is now at over 90 updates and i am missing some security updates. when i try updating manually it comes up with code 80071A91-windows update encountered an unknown error.

The yellow bar with the "update" message pops up on some sites, but not all sites. I hesitate to do updates on things I don't understand, so I'd like to get rid of that annoying popup.

This is still a problem in progress, but getting worse. I thought it was a mobo or hardware problem but I have a work around. After booting or coming out of sleep or hibernation, the laptop spreaker ROARS with unbelievably LOUD SCREECHING! This happens just after the motherboard boot screen goes black and the little blinking cursor starts in the upper left corner. It's the point when one would use F8 for the menu. The roar is horrible! Rebooting a dozen times does nothing. I have set the laptop speaker volume to 0 and the post sounds to Off. Nothing affects this roaring sound.

I have installed a Logitech webcam. It installed a driver called 'Logitech Mic (Notebooks Deluxe)'. The driver causes my computer to hard power off (crashes it immediately) when I start a cam program (u-Broadcast). I know how to disable and un-install the driver through Device Manager/Sound..., but every time I plug something into a USB port or reboot, the driver automatically re-installs itself.

In vista i used to go into safe mode , add remove nvidia drivers and reboot into normal mode it would install the standard vga drivers. However with windows 7 when you reboot into normal mode it installs these wddm(?) drivers and reboots.
Have the old nvidia drivers been uninstalled? and can i just install any previous beta's or new betas over the top?
EDIT : Just installed over the top of the default windows 7 nvidia drivers on uninstalled reboot, seems to work fine so i'll see how it goes!.

My Realtek sound drivers keep on uninstalling themselves. I will install the drivers and I will then reboot as I says too, I reboot and they are there, if I boot the computer down and boot it back up the same day they are fine, no problems. But the next day when I go to boot up the pc I have no sound what so ever, I noticed that I have a HDMI Audio Driver, I disabled this and the problem went away for a few days.

I've tried installing the OS two times, both times my video card has not been recognized. It was properly recognized in the following builds: 7000, 7048, 7057, 7068, 7077. I've tried using ATi Catalyst and also used the following process suggested on techPowerUp! Forums - Powered by vBulletin with no luck:
1, Uninstall existing drivers through Control Panel, reboot in safe mode and run Driver Sweeper to clean up, then:
2, Go here and download the 61.1mb package
3, Go here and download Mobility Modder the install it
4, Go here to download the update, and extract the file into the Mod Tool Directory, overwriting the previous file
5, Run the ATI driver package you downloaded earlier, then cancel after it has been extracted (when you see a black window with orange buttons)
6, Run the Mobility Modder, pointing to the driver folder e.g: C:ATISupport 9_3_vista 64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu
7, When complete, close mobility modder, navigate yourself to the above folder and run setup.exe
8, Go to C:ATISupport9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu DriverPackagesDriversDisplay LH6A_INF
9, At the end it will most likely fail, however, before rebooting, go to device manager, right click and and click update driver, click browse my computer for software, then click browse and point to:C:ATISupport9_ 3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enuDriverPackages DriversDisplayLH6A_INF
10, Click next and it should install the driver. Reboot and all should be okay!

I'm using a i5-750, evga P55 classified and 4gb of team xtreem ram. recently I've been getting BSOD when playing games, caused by this file according to bluescreenview. I uninstalled the video card drivers but when I rebooted, for some reason I still have catalyst 12.1 and there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall them. Tried driver verifier, and after i got the dxgmms1.sys while gaming, it BSOD while rebooting, after the windows loading logo.

I am having trouble getting my vodaphone dongle for internet access on the road installed. My PC refuses to install the drivers properly. It worked fine but it has been about 9 months since I last used it. I have made sure I have the latest drivers downloaded from vodaphone and when I try the dongle in my sons laptop it installs and works fine. I thought I would uninstall the driver from device manager but when I try to do this it just sits there for hours. I have to end up closing device manager down using task manager. I am running Windows 7 on an HP G62 Notebook.

Just installed fresh copy of Windows 7, trying to install Nvidia drivers without any luck, at ALL!
I've downloaded many drivers from 181 to 190 and all I get is "Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again." WHAT THE CRAP?
I've tried to uninstall the current driver, log into safe mode and use driver sweeper to erase every single trace of the old driver, logged back in and tried to install new driver but ALWAYS get the same god damn problem! Why the hell is this happening to me?
I've got Win 7 x64, I've of course downloaded the right drivers!

I go to install the drivers and i reboot, yes i did everything correctly. even tryed vista drivers. I try to open up ATI control panel which is showing that its there and i get an error message. I goto the directx tool and its showing nothing for my display. which is very odd? It shows my card in device manager. Somehow i think my card and the drivers are not connecting. Ive tried to clean install the drivers probably 10 different times and nothing has worked.

"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"
I Ve been trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Sony Vaio VGN 123 E and i managed to get my DVD fully working (booting windows 7 installation and all), but the las issue im having installing Windows 7 is that eveyrtime i get into the Install now screen, and i click on install now, it goes and show me a screen with this message:
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.
That message gives me 3 buttons: ok, cancel and browse, neither of OK and CANCEL would let me through the install, and with browse i have tried to find those missing drivers but without succeed.
I have read almost every near installation post on this forum and googled that error with no further
FYI:Vista Home Premium already Installed on Laptop. DVD/RW rom is working perfect and window7 does boot perfectly then why the hell it needs drivers again? I do not have drivers for Cd/dvd rom.

I accidentally deleted all the display drivers off of the computer, the computer restarted and now the computer has just seemed to screw up completely. The computer turns on however I get no signal from the monitor, it's on but nothing on the screen so i cant get into BIOS or anything.
I've tried:
- Using different cables
- Taking out and putting the CMOS battery in
- Using different Monitors

My computer is unable access my router. The power went out for a second and clearly that did something. I have an HP p7-1174 desk top, running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. The processor is an AMD A8-3800.
There are now several devices in the manager with yellow exclamation points, all relegated to the LAN. I get a Code 31, unable to load drivers message. I ran the sfc scan and there were no integrity violations. I tried updating drivers without any luck. My router is working fine because my laptop and iPad both work online.
The problem seems to be that Windows can't load the drivers for my 802.11n wireless LAN card. I tried updating drivers but it said the driver was up to date. I tried changing manually but the only two listed were the same and when I clicked one, it said Windows was unable to load.

Well, I was messing around and thought I would test out the Vista beta 182.06 drivers vs. the drivers you get through Windows Update. All I did was run a demo in Team Fortress 2 in with both drivers. Also my gfx card is a 7800gt, so this might not apply to newer cards.
Of course take this with a grain of salt, especially for newer systems, but if you have an older pc, and are running with the 182.06 or maybe Vista drivers in general, try using the Windows Update drivers again. I know which one's I will be using from now on.

I just finished building my PC. I read in many places in Internet about drivers updates and they all say I shouldn't update my driver from the CD provided from the manufacturer but from Internet and install them in a USB flash drive. So that's what I did, I installed my BIOS current driver and other MOBO drivers in my USB flash drive. However, I don't know now how to update my drivers without the CD's. I would like some help on how to update all my drivers (my PC is completly new) using a USB flash drive.

Is it better to systematically update drivers (update 1, then 2, then 3) or is it better to just update to the latest driver (going from update 1 straight to 3 thus skipping 2)?
